Sewist

Okay RANT time.....what is wrong with this book title.  It's just too cute. duh.

Sew Liberated: 20 Stylish Projects for the Modern Sewist


Paperback
   
Sometimes we do need a  new or 'adjusted' word.  A new word for a new occupation,  new discovery,  new invention, new idea or perhaps a revised idea  etc.   Sewing is not new,  the modern age began after the middle ages. So what is this 'sewist'  ick.  How about spew....a word that makes you want to spew, does that make me a spewist or am I still a spewer?
I know I am over reacting... sometimes I do or is that sum times I do.  Language can be fun.

What's in a phrase?

I know I am not unique, really I am not :))   Therefore,  there are others  that have a problem with certain use of words and phrases.  I am not thinking curse words here.
 So here's my little rant on the phrase 'don't forget.....'.
When I hear  'don't'  the first thing I think is 'now what?' It puts my back up, so to speak.
I resent the fact that the speaker thinks I have or will forget.  I might but 'you' don't have
to make me feel bad about my ability to remember. As far as 'you' know, I may choose to forget.
It would be so much more positive to hear  'please remember'
Well! since you asked so nicely, I certainly will.
Thanks for listening/reading.

Happy Wednesday
