what you miss is I know I can never communicate effective with everyone no matter what I say. If you think I feel like I've wasted breath, then you don't know me as you could. And Clutch is the one who diluted the thread with his "gross" line. Again, I cannot possibly provide "effective communication" to everyone in a huge crowd of people I don't know at a bbs, no matter of withholding words will improve my communication, in my experience. My only goal is expressing personality and trolling personality out of people. and "ecphonesis" means animated or passionate exclamations. How ironic 'eh, that you can't find that for the "life of you", you dry bed of driveling isms. hey, here's a smilie for yeah
jamcracker, I think you are going in the wrong direction. Seems like a synthesized word for the results of the interacton of different languages and word meanings to the participants in a conversation.

jammie, what dictionaries are you using. Remember I did Ling and cultural anth at Rice. I recall that from Functional Linguistics. First time I could use it in a sentence. lol! What a freaking b**** of a class that was? Talk about breaking a language down into iddy biddy pieces.

Sorry, I'm not pulling my words in life. My hero Charles Barkley taught me not to do that. I've learned I find more friendships if I don't, learn more about others if I don't, and make more people feel better about race relations if I don't. cheers...and don't ever assume someone is making a negative comment without giving them a listen, because our children will be better not thinking negatively by "defaut", as you put it!
