Long long time ago, in grade school, I was taught that one cannot love inanimate objects.  One can only like them.  But I really do love a good word that has precise meaning and fits a situation to a T.   Or is it Tee or Tea.  I don't know and it makes me wonder what that means.  To a T!??
Well I probably could find out by calling an NPR program called,  " A Way with Words".    On Sundays when we're heading to town for Church,  between nine and ten am in this time zone,  there are a couple of wordsmiths answering callers' questions about words and phrases and their meanings.  It's a lot of fun to hear how different sayings evolved and hear such interesting words explained.   Our family has always stopped to congratulate each other when a particularly apt word comes flowing into a conversation.  A choice word can be as succulent as a ripe peach on a summer day or as discombobulating as a winter pothole.
