Because of the legacy of the English in Jamaica, and the way we are taught in school, I tend to use words that have their roots in Latin. It's been a learning experience making choices.J.L.

I love language in general and it's not until you start mixing it up that get to see its potential. <br /><br />I probably use the pun more than any other figure of speech though.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-59445909900706103802010-03-17T22:15:51.063-06:002010-03-17T22:15:51.063-06:00I like to thumb through the thesaurus and/or dicti...I like to thumb through the thesaurus and/or dictionary to get reminded of different words.
