Random Thoughts

In Journalista, Dirk Deppey misrepresents my opinion on the word "minx". I didn't "take issue" with it. I was simply confused and asking for clarification. Oh well. I can't expect him to have read all my other comments on the subject. I am actually closer to Dirk's opinion of "who cares" than he realizes. I just didn't understand why there wasn't more of an outcry, since the word (in my mind) clearly had negative connotations. Now I know why there isn't an outcry. The meaning I thought the word had is apparently not what most people think. That's the problem with words. Definitions, and connotations, change over the years. A girl with her head stuck in old books is likely to get a bit confused when words don't mean what they think she means.
