Now that you mention it, I don't have any negative connections either. :)<BR/><BR/>My computer's auto spell check does underline it in red, but what does a computer know about swooshing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-64085089092945963602008-05-15T17:54:00.000-08:002008-05-15T17:54:00.000-08:00Boys will be boys at any lattitude.Swoosh is a per...Boys will be boys at any lattitude.<BR/>Swoosh is a perfectly descriptive word. <BR/>I can't think of any bad memories that involved swooshing.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-70484277309563382972008-05-09T10:24:00.000-08:002008-05-09T10:24:00.000-08:00Thanks, Bryan.

I owe it all to the influence of my grammatically commanding and linguistically creative friends who have taught me that sometimes language is (or should be) more like Silly Putty than Super Glue. :)<BR/><BR/>It's hard to see how slick packed snow really is. When I was walking to school yesterday, the wind actually blew me sideways a couple of inches because my boots had no traction. The sides of the road aren't too bad, but the areas in the middle where vehicles have packed and polished the snow/ice until it's shiny...THAT is some slippery stuff!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I would have tried riding a bike on it when I was younger. I'm not sure I would have slammed myself sideways into a hardened snow drift (at any age). Leave that to the boys. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-57243689265582321042008-05-09T03:24:00.000-08:002008-05-09T03:24:00.000-08:00And to use such a fine word in a grammatically cor...And to use such a fine word in a grammatically correct way shows remarkable command of our language! :)<BR/><BR/>Racing our bikes through snow was never an option around here. Although I would pass on the challenge now, I would have relished the opportunity at a younger age!
