Re: Patricia
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
"What a lush, kindly appellation! I especially love that this patrician moniker has become plebeian due to extensive use. Such a fun paradox!"
I feel like I'm reading an 18th-century seduction novel (which, if you aren't familiar, is the 18th-C equivalent of a soap opera or a telenovela). I wouldn't mention this unkind thought if this post didn't have such an elitist edge, but it does, so I will.
That said, I like Patricia.

lol!
Remember Anne of Green Gables, always trying to show off with her big words? "Oh, it's so TRAGICAL!"
This is what this poster's threads often remind me of.

If you knew me, you'd know that the words I choose -- grandiloquent though they may be -- are those that first spring to my mind. I have no need to prove my intelligence to others.
I enjoy your florid phrases, and always click on your posts. I cannot say that for everyone else.

In my opinion, your comment is far more laudatory than contumelious, so I thank you!
