Words are funny. The other day I was just telling someone that one only gets bothered by words if they decide to be bothered. Words have meanings only because we assign it to them. If we decide not to assign meanings to certain words or certain people's words...perhaps life might be easier...though then the trap of making it into a dangerous habit also opens up...
I got the quote below from my daily AWAD mailing.
It's an interesting one...
The appropriately beautiful or ugly sound of any word is an illusion wrought
on us by what the word connotes.
-Max Beerbohm, writer, critic, and caricaturist (1872-1956)
