Comments on: Books … Common Slang … TV = Culture? http://www.adrienned.com/blog/2007/10/16/books-slang-tv-culture/ Thought is the only matter Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:44:57 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Marti in Mexicome http://www.adrienned.com/blog/2007/10/16/books-slang-tv-culture/comment-page-1/#comment-108 Marti in Mexicome Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:00:53 +0000 http://www.adrienned.com/blog/2007/10/16/books-%e2%80%a6-common-slang-%e2%80%a6-tv-culture/#comment-108 Wonderful article. We can so often talk at cross purposes because of a lack of a mutual reference of all parties involved. These references are cultural, age-related, profession -related. Commonality is the glue that holds communication together. So it is necessary to find that common ground, sometimes a daunting task! That's why I, an over-60s something person, compulsively surf the net, to keep connected to the current cultures. Actually, to the many current cultures, ie. geek, internet, popular, music, science.

If you get me know, i can post here here are a trackback. Ioni Yes and no. What i was trying to get across is sometimes you think you know someones intent behind there words, and you really have no idea. Sometimes a statement is just a statement. And if there is a question in the intent, chose the more powerful one not the one that makes you mad. Adrienne :) Thanks Jason. If you get me know, i can post here here are a trackback.

It's the best I've ever read from you, and the best I've read in the last little while. Congratulations, and I hope it really takes off, because I think a lot of people should be reading it. I might even write my own article about it... if I do, I'll give you a link. I love this article, Adrienne. It’s the best I’ve ever read from you, and the best I’ve read in the last little while.
