When Good Ideas turn Bad

 

With only 26 letters in my toolbox, I haven’t a lot to work with.  Really, you’d think there’d be more, considering all the words we have.  We are fortunate they are reusable.  William Shakespeare had the opportunity to use them all up long before I came upon the scene.

In fact, everyone throughout history has been using them in speech, in writing and some quite loudly out of car windows.  That’s the other thing, words don’t seem to be affected by volume. Case in point, the words QUITE LOUDLY, can actually be whispered.  Seems odd, right?

I have been writing on this blog for several years now and have received many comments, none, however, complaining that I keep using the same words over and over again, just arranging them differently.  And I don’t really enjoy typing.  I much prefer using my good pen, but until technology figures out how to get spell check into a pen, I’m stuck here, pushing on these buttons.

OK, let me think about that for a minute.  A Smart Pen.  That could be something.  Maybe with built-in AI.  Nope, I see what you did there…  Right away your mind went to forgery.  A smart pen could be used by the crooks to sign someone else’s name, making it impossible to tell the real from the fake.  And a smart pen in the hands of a lawyer…  I don’t want to even think what could happen there.
