The Words We Use to Confuse:

If someone is walking in a very carefree manner we might say they are “Nonchalant.” Does that mean if a person is in a frenzy and in a crazy hurry they are “Chalant”?

If a person is unhappy with their situation and they complain and argue with people they will be described as “Disgruntled.” Does that mean that people that get along with everyone are “Gruntled”?

When a person has a quick wit and snappy replies people will call them a “Smart Aleck.” Does that mean that all those people who are not as quick in the reply are “Dumb Alecks”?

These are just a few items in our language that bounce around the back of my empty head from time to time.

    I leave a response whenever I like a article on a site or I have something to contribute to the discussion.

    Usually it is caused by the sincerness displayed in the post I
    read. And on this post "The Words We Use to Confuse:".
    I was moved enough to post a leave a responsea response ;-) I actually
    do have 2 questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be just me or do some of these comments come across like written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I'd like
    to follow everything new you have to post. Would you list all of your social pages like your twitter feed,
    Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due
    to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
