"Why are you measuring us against this metric?"

"What even is a metric?"

"Oh that's easy! A metric is like an imperial yardstick."

Good morning.
#November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail.
Today's word is #measure

Did you know we have more than 5000 miles of waterways in the UK? That's the same as coast to coast of the USA and back again. And it deserves protecting. #iwa #inlandwaterways #ukcanals #navigatetherisk #5000miles #wedigcanals

I have deep suspicions
about the people I meet
walking slowly down
the length of my street
Are they for real?
or from a parallel world
alien imposters?
from a planet
as yet unheard
The walking dead
doppelgangers
fizzing with evil intent

Literature,
The wisdom of fiction,
The knowledge of non-fiction
Tomes acquired
Lain unread
The science of osmosis
Seems not to extend
To the diction therein
While the tomes
Remain
Unread

My common sense is late,
Strangely arriving on time with hindsight.
If only I took the time to read the literature
And not allowed myself to be overcome by impulsive selfish wants.

Gravity’s a #law, they say, but flying disrespects it.
Grammar lays down rigid rules, but poetry neglects it.
Greed makes economic sense, but charities defy it.
Sometimes straying from the norm works better when you try it.

Good morning. My choice of words was beginning to resemble a list of my O-level subjects, but I never studied this!
Today's word is #law. Make of it what you will. Happy Sunday!

The beauty and the folly of language is its richness and diversity.

An open code which masks hidden coded meanings.

A #language where the same words, even in the same context, have different meanings, and different words have the same meanings.

How can any story be short in one's mind?

Divided by a common #language
The two sides of The Pond
Attempted to communicate with each other
Not realising that what one thought they'd said and meant
Was not what the other heard and thought they'd understood.

Here we go again! The start of my second week as host - hundreds of works of genius read, more screen hours than is healthy, many new friends.
Today's word from my Xword book index is #language.
Off you go - surprise me!

After the Reptilians took over, they destroyed the guns. We broke into the one place that still had weapons: the #history museum. We stole swords and war hammers and chased them down, howling like wolves.
