Dorothy Leigh Sayers was the only person who ever did whodunnits right. After reading all of her stuff, everything else in that line seems, well, not very good.

She was also capable of appreciating a good motorcycle.

I used to say 'egglant' instead of elegant. I still get some words muddled up and N3S does the same. .-= DJ Kirkby´s last blog ..Della says OMG! =-.

I love this. As a kid I used to make up words when I was not satisfied with those available to me in the English language. In fact, I still do that as an adult My niece insisted for years that what she wore to bed was a “night up” (she thought we were calling them “night downs” instead of night gowns and protested by switching it to up).

Love this… it makes me think about how I am often unable to say cinnamon, without stuttering! Is it a potato or a patoato?

Glad you posted for the carnival!

That’s hilarious, because when I was little, I thought it was “determinded” too. I still think about what determinded might mean…

Oh, that is too sweet for words (smile). Like my own mother, I am terrible guilty of using substitute words for the real article, despite suffering the embarrasment myself as a kid, innocently copying inappropriate words for items, I find myself now passing this on to my kids.. my youngest came home the other week to accusingly announce, “That whizzy-rounder is called a BLENDER, mum!” (Oops.)

LOL too funny
Funny sometimes how our brain tricks us into thinking we are seeing something we aren’t.
