Training to be a transcriptionist makes one uber-aware of the basics of grammar that we tend to ignore on a daily basis.
I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about "sarcasm," which is a noun, and "sarcastic," which is an adjective. Then I wondered, what is the difference between being sarcastic and being facetious?
I couldn't answer that. So, what about "facetious" in all of its glorious adjectiveness. What form of the word makes it a noun?
"Sarcastic, sarcasm. Facetious, fascism"???
About Me
- Katie
- I love to write - it keeps me sane, and is much cheaper than therapy. I love to read, especially murder mysteries, which is funny, because if I ever saw a dead body, I would probably slink into a corner and remain in a catatonic state for 12 years. I have a lovely house with one cat and a weiner dog - Lincoln (fat tabby), and Hairy Truman (8 lb mini dachshund who is impossible to catch). My parents are my best friends, and on Saturday nights you can usually find me in bed by 10 p.m. with a good book.
