Your choice of words is intriguing. I enjoy finding little Easter egg treasures of words that I dont often see.
Which word choice - segue? Now that big cities rent out "segway" scooters, people will never remember how to spell segue.
*This is nothing but a scooter!! A motorized scooter!
Good heavens you can order one now at WalMart!
We have Segways in this part if the country and I am familiar with these.
Segue:
a movement without interruption from one piece of music, part of a story, subject, or situation to another:
He stumbled over words and made awkward segues.
Chapter 9 provides a nice segue into Chapter 10.
I am familiar with what a segue is. That is why I said "I like your use of it"
Of course you know what it means - my apologies for making it look otherwise! - I had to look it up myself to make sure it meant movement outside the original music terminology. I risk looking santimonious, preachy, condescending, and annoying when I do this, but my obsession for dictionaries and encyclopedias just obliterates any common sense... when you called attention to the word, I got to thinking maybe I was using it incorrectly. The way I had just confused personification and anthropomorphism.
Pleading for mercy and knowing full well I wouldn't have to waste words pleading if I just said things right the first time
I kust took another look myself and learned it came about in the music sense in 1748. If I am correct it wasnt used as a literal transitioning sense until 1958. I read that on the computer so you know it must be true. Lol
LOL!
Lord Google would never mislead us.
