(Sorry for the repost, folks: the first version didn't make a blooming bit of sense, beyond the lulling rhetoric of its construction. This one is clearer.)
Exactly. The last lines in the first version were a blend of two thoughts that lost coherence when I cut the post down for letter count. Silly brains.
But also, a neat reminder:
The cadence of those sentences made it harder for me to spot the incoherence in their revised content. I might be extra tired right now (I am), but still--
It's so easy to fall for words with the right rhythm, even if they don't make sense. A good reminder to keep up constant vigilance when reading online!
I often give up with the folks that love words more than actual meaning. It becomes so tiresome.
100%. I shouldn't be posting while exhausted, but this slip-up was a good opportunity for self-correction all the same.
We are none of us invulnerable to incoherence, and that's why we need to comport ourselves in a way that will earn being "called in" rather than "called out" when we inevitably make mistakes - in words, and in actions.
π€ I would trust you to call me in on my mistakes any day, Lindsay. So do feel free to let me know if you see any in the future!
Likewise
I guess I learned something about how I read and interpret, because it made perfect sense to me! π€·
Perhaps I'm getting to know a little bit about what's important to you, so my brain automatically filled in any spaces that may have been there.
Brains are slippery little meaning-makers, aren't they? Very good at filling in blanks to make the pattern fit.
π€ Glad to be known, my friend - even if this just makes us even more dangerous together!
