Saying hi...
i'm a word person. i like words. When i was younger (go ahead and laugh) i would casually browse through dictionaries and thesaureses for fun. i have done a few posts on the meaning of words, one that landed me into a lot of trouble (phobia).
So to read this, clinical in sounding but priceless when implemented is cool.
