About The Post Directly Beneath This Post!

For some reason, I cannot edit my previous post to correct some obvious errors. There are three that I know of. In the first sentence, the word “don’t” should actually be “won’t.”

Then I refer to an “alliance garage” in which we keep our toaster. The term is “appliance garage.”

Finally, I write a whole paragraph about the wonderful word “doterage,” and evidently THERE IS NO SUCH WORD. The correct word is dotage, which I will from now on use, clear into my fast-approaching dotage.

I will need to start my own collection of non-words soon, I fear. The first two will be “endulge” and “doterage.” Pretty cool words, eh?

I don’t know. Maybe I should stick to exploding eggs.

Fallible Comments...
  1. Hilarious, Katy! I laughed hard when you told the tale of your "gunshot eggs." I never knew that's what would happen if you let them boil too long. Now I feel like putting a few in a pot and witnessing my own version of your experience.

    Doterage isn't a word? I thought it was, too. Maybe that's why there were only 71 uses of it on Google. Either way, I think it sounds better than dotage. You should start your own books of Katy-isms.

    Blessings!

  2. Doterage may not be a word, but a person in his or her dotage is called a dotard. That's according to my 25-year-old dictionary anyway. Thanks for making me learn something today, Katy.

    Alliance and appliance? Were you by any chance using spellcheck? That can be a nasty tool. One of the reporters where I work once used spellcheck on a story he wrote about a motivational speaker "spreading excitement among people when he spoke." Except, when the reporter ran spellcheck, he had spelled excitement wrong and the first thing that popped up and replaced the misspelling was "excrement."

    Good thing our proofers caught that.

  3. I thought "alliance" garage was rather brilliant. In fact, I think it's crucial for our plug-in equipment to live in harmony.

    As for your spelling snafus...on one of the feeds I receive recently, a certain writer had a post about cleaning out her panty. Um, TMI.

  4. Gracie--Girl, those eggs were loud enough to restore hearing to the deaf! But DON'T try this at home! I ruined a pot I've had since 1977. Phooey. Yeah, using words like doterage is one way to get the most out of search engine optimization!! :)

    Kathryn--You're killing me here! We're going to be DOTARDS?? Oh, NO!
    BTW, I don't use spellcheck, unless I'm about to hit "send" on a very important manuscript. Then I only use it with tons of trepidation. Your story is HORRIBLE and hilarious. And oh, so...visual!!

    Christa--Someone thinks I said something BRILLIANT? I am now officially happy. :) Cleaning out her panty? Somehow, I'm surprised that phrase hasn't showed up on this site until now!!! Thank you for sharing--ha!
