I was watching ‘My Name is Earl’. This television series comprises kooky characters from Earl to his brother Randy to his ex-wife to Crabman – his ex-wife’s husband. Every episode introduces a nefarious and unusual personality. Essentially, the lot revolves about the formerly incarcerated and now-rehabilitated Earl seeking personal redemption from his transgressions on people in his life. He draws out a long list of people and deeds he has to make correct and better. Like his narrative emphases: ‘Karma has a way of coming back in different ways.’ Last night, he reads to children from a mobile library a book about the ape-man ‘Trazan’ (an obvious typological error and questionable content), which he based strongly to one of his karmic deed done well.
Tarzan or Trazan: spelling error or anagram? We can use the same letters but with different arrangement. Scrabble is a brilliant invention of a word game. We construct new words by adding prefixes and suffixes based on the tiles we have, and how we configure them. It is a good way to develop our vocabulary as well as aspects of our grammar. ‘Scrabble’ can be misconstrued as ‘scramble’ if you read it in a rush. Many people do not read e-mails at a deeper level of appreciation. It is so easy to get caught up in tasks that we choose to comprehend messages at a superficial level.
Have you carelessly sent out an e-mail, only to discover later your spelling mistakes? Have you actually subject a person’s name through a spell-check, and dismembered them from their attention?
When you make distinctions on words, then you may make discernments on your decisions. What would be a better decision at that time? When should I make the decision? Who can I decide with?
