I wonder if part of that stems from the fact that we seldom really think about what the words mean, we just assume we know what they mean because of our long familiarity with them... but yet when pushed we realize that we don't know as well as we think we do! I know I have had that happen, and I try to be much more purposeful about the words I use and how I use them since then.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006833743714206736.post-59390451680444647192014-03-09T15:44:10.854-07:002014-03-09T15:44:10.854-07:00I've found it very hard to ever engage anyone ...I've found it very hard to ever engage anyone in friendly discussion about what they mean by a certain word - I don't know if it is that they feel inadequate to the challenge of trying to explain what I agree are often hard things -- so they get defensive and try to make me fee that I am being fussy about unimportant things.

It's amazing how different the two are, given that they say almost the same thing.
