I’m so glad some other people experience this too My husband has been laughing at me all weekend about this post. He keeps saying big words and then “oh, sorry…do you know what that means?” All in good fun of course.

@Naomi – it’s bad enough when it happens at home, I can imagine it’s doubly frustrating at work!

@Carol – don’t tell me it lasts that long!

I also have a copy of Thesaurus close to my computer. It has always helped me “talk” better with my blog posts.

I asked my daughter if she had to go to the potty the other day. She is 13. She was not amused.

It does help to converse with people over 4 feet tall from time to time to prevent word shrinkage.
