A Conversation With Daniel

<< < (6/6)

I learned of the second definition when consulting the dictionary while preparing my post (wanted to make sure I wasn't being a Mrs. Malaprop), but in my post I entirely meant the former meaning.

injest:
inventing a word...or constructing a new one from common roots....is fine. As long as the people in the conversation understand the words..

So if you would like to converse and want to include others; just make a point of saying "I like to call this set of circumstances 'xyz'" then everyone is clear on what they are talking about.

Using words you make up without filling in other people is counterproductive.

Daniel:
Hmmm, I suppose it makes it more difficult when the root terms are poorly defined as it is...

Anyway, I thought I would tell you that there would be a momentary hiatus in our conversation, I will be going away for about a week. So, I will have to reenter the conversation at that point, feel free to continue on in my absence, I'm sure things can get more interesting.

Take care, Daniel. I  hope you have a nice trip.
