The Hmmm... Post

Do you ever have one of those random thoughts that pop into your mind and then you just can't get rid of them?

Well, I do... and today's one just came out of nowhere as I was stumbling around, half-awake, getting ready for work.

It was along the lines of this...

"Hmmm... 'Disintegrated'... that's an interesting word. Well, 'integrated' just means joined together... so why do we associate 'disintegrated' with something that's not only separated, but is kind of blown apart so that nothing is left but dust? I mean, you would say, 'That plane flew into the side of a mountain, and it disintegrated', and everyone would assume that there was nothing left but debris. We never say that somebody's handwriting is 'disintegrated'... but surely that would be useable as a word... because it would just mean that they hadn't done joined up writing?"

Inside the head of this selkie is an interesting (albeit spacious and kind of echoey) place!

Anyway, enough of my ramblings... Gotta go!
