I'm going to see if I can rent this movie... but first, I've got to look up the definition of "dufusity" because I'm a mono-syllabic neanderthal......

could you please be considerate and not post any spoilers to the story? although you may not have liked the movie you could allow others to make up their own minds without you parts of the plot and giving away things that may have been obvious to you but not others? it would be greatly appreciated if you could extend the courtesy that has been extended to you, even if you personally did not enjoy the film. thanks.

]]> Comment on CALLING FOR WORDS by chris yukna http://www.franksfilms.com/calling-for-words#comment-356 chris yukna Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:08:48 +0000 http://www.franksfilms.com/?p=225#comment-356 This is quite common among writers. Not only that, but everyone has an extensive vocabulary that they don't use. We apply the principle of least effort utilizing the most limited vocabulary we can get away with. In addition, the words used and their frequency produce a sort of genetic signature to our prose. Frank, your blog is sort of a corpus of your vocabulary and since it is collected and in one place you think that you can see your limits clearly. But since it is chronological you can also take a peek at the progress and sophistication you have gained. chin up old chap Now back to your problem, cyberspace has some cognitive aids that you can use from time to time to add an little chaos into the system. Take "quirky" pretty humdrum. (note: adding nonsense words that rhyme (also called echo or flip flop words) in each of your reviews is one way to spice up your articles The actor's "singsong" delivery somehow added to the "hurly girly" ...) Let's see: How many times have you actually used quirky? google says just four and you can see for yourself if you use the following url: site:http://www.franksfilms.com quirky BTW google says you have never used "best film of the year" hmm? Back to quirky Now goto http://translate.google.com/ for a one on one translation quirky in Italian is bizzarro (but you knew that), in German schrullig (among others). Okay no one is going to understand a film's schrulligstats but if you retranslate back schrullig you get "maggoty" I bet you have not used that in FranksFilms and even "she’s becoming more and more of an oddball" hows that for whismical? At Babelfish http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ whole phrases can be translated then decrypted back into English for that otherworldly air. Sure you could just go to any number of thesaurus sites like http://thesaurus.reference.com/ and come up with "Deviating from the customary" does sound like you... And if you have all day and nothing to do, put your mundane over used word into the Wordelizer and close your eyes. Some last words of advice Remember, if you are really lazy: just select words stochastically in any Microsoft office document and active the synonym function! (long live whoppie tech) I hope I have helped/benefited/accessorized/subsidized you. Guilelessly yours chris ps did you notice how I shamelessly plugged my own webpage?
