Test your brain...

[Bob_Ross]

It's perfectly acceptable to use familiar ways of talking about things. Except when it isn't, and when being more particular increases understanding.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head!



...well, I mean, except there's not actually a "nail", and you haven't literally "hit" anything...

I can read it no problem, but then I can read my own handwriting too.

I don't follow your comment about words don't exist. If I write them on paper, there they are on the paper. They are in my mind too, but how are they not there on the paper? I don't want to argue, but I would like to be enlightened as to your thinking.

They're all metaphors. That's where they exist. Words are a collection of symbols - lines on a page.

I started reading it just fine, then realised there were a few "odd" characters in it. It helps being semi-dyslexic and a blind old bat. The human brain is very adaptive.

When I look down the list of new posts and see "Pedal Breeders Club" (or whatever) I always read it as "Pig Breeders Club", I do it every time even though I know what it really is.

Having been a HS English teacher, that stuff comes especially easy to me. Looks like a typical essay.

No sweat if you read it fast ...
