I awoke this morning to find Daily Post comments already closed. I am, as usual, behind my colleagues. I have a hard enough time thinking of an angle, being expected to avoid three-letter words turns into an extra challenge. Also, it’s playing havoc with my tenses. Refining these five lines took fifteen minutes (Actually, that’s fifteen minutes – take away five).
There is another minefield to negotiate. Does today’s requirement include contractions, I want to know? I mean, do we count ‘I’m’, or ‘I’ve’ or ‘I’ll’? If so then I’ve already faffed things up.
Anyhow, it’s four letter words we should stay away from. Four letter words cause problems. Of course if you’re speaking French ‘merde’ is actually a five letter word, then there’s German, count the letters yourselves: Setz dich auf deine vier Buchstaben (“sit down on your four letters”) mainly used when speaking to children, as it refers to Popo, meaning “rump” in baby talk. (I understood none of it, I just dutifully copied it from Wikipedia. I love Wikipedia.
I love my three letter words so I am reinstating them: the, the, the, and the. I can’t do without my ‘the’ or ‘you’, or ‘and’ or ‘for’ you read me WordPress people?
PS, If you (you) want longer posts, then you (you) have to give us Aussies more time.
A Wondering Minstrel I 
I like your new look 🙂
Thanks, I’ve finally taken the plunge and revealed myself. it’s one of my fave pictures of me and my boys, But it’s my old look, the picture was taken mph, mph years ago.
Yep, I think the comments for the dailies are automatically closed. They only keep ’em open for the Weeklies. Loved this post, by the way! 🙂
I’m just having a whinge. Thanks for liking my post. I can’t imagine ever taking that for granted.
I always find the comment closed. I just post and link and move on. The link is there if anyone cares. I like words too. I did not enjoy meshing my post in order to avoid the three letter ones. It sounds lumpy when I do that. Good job. I was so interested in what you were saying, I never noticed if you slipped up.
Thanks for the kind words. You’re right about the posting and linking and just getting on with things, I’m not really mad about it, I’m just being a compulsive complainer.
Thank-you. Me too find comment closed. Didn’t think to just post a link. I do not score well as high tech brain.
It took me forever just to learn how to place a photo. I am definitely not high tech.
