Point well taken and made. Often it depends on the context - if I have neither time nor inclination for more, I'm not above saying 'beautiful', even if it's sometimes beside the point...

This post is Awesome!!! Sorry couldn't help myself. You are right of course and I believe I have fallen into that easy way out of writing. It's freezing here today. A big drop in temperature and it's colder than a Witches Bum. ......OK I'm leaving before I get kicked out.....

Yes don't go down that road. I am tired of hearing versions of that, and how many different versions of no. Although I would dispute that. Chin up Pat.

I delight in a well-turned phrase. It takes writing from craft to art.
Objective descriptions... I suggest a game to writers: Go for a week without using the words 'good' and 'bad' or any permutations of them. Not just for writers, either. We could all express ourselves and commit to our observations of the world more fully if we wouldn't fall back on personal likes and dislikes.

I'm hungry. I love words, the use of words, words I have to look up in the dictionary, words that go together with special meaning. I think that must be part of the reason I like to read you. "I like to read you", that sounds like "Who are you wearing?" at the Academy Awards.
