I love to talk and write and use a lot of words on a daily basis. That is why I love the fact that when I looked up “verbose synonyms,” I found 29 of them in Thesaurus.com. Isn’t that funny? I think so, and that is why I decided to write about them.
Now, not all of these aforementioned synonyms are used to describe what I am talking about. Nevertheless, I just like using lots of words to communicate, describe, write about, etc. So you see where this is going. I adore words. That’s it, in a nutshell.
So, where does this lead me? Well, I guess it’s just one of the ways I express myself. There are many other ways, such as facial expressions, body language, attitude and others. But, I believe words are very powerful. Otherwise, propaganda would not have the ability to affect people’s thoughts and opinions. And sometimes, many, different kinds of words are needed to fully drive a message home when needed in serious situations.
A dear friend of mine once wrote these words to me in a letter: “Sometimes words are all we have.” I think she meant that there are so many things to be expressed that require specific thoughts to be communicated. This requires a vocabulary that is painstakingly extensive. But, with lots of thought and careful consideration, the best words can usually be found.
Blogging is indeed a great way to use this skill. And learning this skill is a life-long quest. Finding just the right words to use in the many and varied kinds of situations in life is truly communication used to the full.
I hope that you aren’t finding this to be overly verbose. Once I begin to write, the words just take over. So here we are at the end of a very verbose blog. I hope my loquaciousness didn’t bother you too much. So I will conclude with brevity. Bye!
