[Aquanet] Lots of hats in the room!

[patchapin at mindspring.com]

Raymond we must be of one mind, the Sedaris thing immediately came to me on reading Carol's post!  Otherwise, if someone is more interested in what we say than what we paint, they should change lists.  

I'll boast for a moment -- I speak, read and write several languages; not always grammatically. I'm always grateful if I got understood even partially, no?   I'll quit now, but must say, language is our servant not our master, and English survives, with some other languages, because it is flexible.

Since the main point is 'did you understand', whoever said/wrote this to Carol needs to kiss off, since they obviously didn't get it.  Just my opinion.

  Carol are you serious?  :O  Someone here would actually do that?


  Whoever that caller was, if you are reading this, I urge you to consider what you hoped to gain by making such a call.  Did you think that you would somehow improve Carol's art or any of ours?  I guarantee you didn't, but instead you managed to upset another person.


  If any of my grammar in this or any other message bothers you, do not even think of calling or writing me about it.




  Me talk pretty one day, too! :)

    I just got off the telephone with someone who called to critique my contribution to the HATS show.  Seems I erred by saying the plant was almost as tall as me. If I spoke correct English I would have said was almost as tall as I am .

    Being educated in inner city Detroit and being raised by immigrant grandparents, I'm lucky to make any sense.  My sincerest apologies to anyone I may offend with my posts to this group!

    Maybe I suffer from speaking and writing with my RIGHT BRAIN?  ;  )

    Anyway, thanks Raymond for allowing me the chance to display my artwork.
