Our fine distinction this evening is “assume” versus “presume.” A pretty clear distinction here, I think! “Assume” means to suppose without proof. “Presume” means to do the same, but with confidence and authority. So, both mean to take something as fact without proof,...

My favorite thing about snuggling into bed is Joy falling asleep on me. She licks my face, slides down into the crook of my shoulder and arm…and falls asleep. Like, snoring asleep. It’s magic. A break from the fine distinctions tonight, but back tomorrow! A very...

Today’s fine distinction is about espresso! Something I almost never drink, lol. It’s a weird one. I don’t mind the taste of coffee. I quite get it, in fact, especially coffee and milk or cream. What a tasty way to start your day, and piping hot, too! But…I don’t...

Whew. A day off. Holy crap I needed it today! Today’s fine distinction is…. Bay vs Gulf vs Cove A “bay” is a body of water recessed within land. A “gulf” is a very large bay. Like…hundreds of miles. A “cove” is a very tiny bay with a narrow inlet and sheltered by...

Today’s fine distinction is Envy vs. Jealousy. A good one! Envy is wanting something that one does not have, something that someone else has. I envy that person’s car. Jealousy is the desire for others not to have something (or someone) you possess. “I don’t want you...

It’s already past midnight so making it a quick one, but writing was good, work was good, podcasting was good…solid day! And here’s our fine distinction for the evening… Great Britain vs United Kingdom Great Britain is apparently a geographical term for the island....

Tonight’s fine distinction is “deep web” versus “dark web.” Definitely heard of the latter and know what it is, but even though I’d heard the former, I never really thought about what it means. The “dark web” is, of course, the type of websites you can only reach with...

Our fine distinction tonight is “symphony” vs “concerto.” On the face it, I would have guessed that a concerto is smaller…but that would have been wrong, and probably mistaking concerto for a “chamber orchestra,” which is indeed smaller than a “symphony orchestra.” A...

I got the cutest little book today. I’m going to try using it at the beginning of my journal entries, see if I like it…but it’s called the Dicationary of Fine Distinctions, and its a compilation of words that mean almost the same thing, and in fact are often...

I got up and wrote today! Woohoo! It was a decent session, too. Need to do it again tomorrow, but today was a win. Took a nap. Made progress on the photos project for the Kings. Took care of pups. Watched a little football. Finished my reading. A good Sunday. I wish I...
