I guess those that read my posts regularly tire of me saying I am old. I suppose I could say I’m not young as used to be. That too is true.

Odd the way we humans select our words. We like to use different ways to say the same thing. On the other hand, sometimes there are slight differences, like the words fast and quick.

For decades, I was used to the word problem(s). Then one day, it was issue(s). I’m not exactly sure how and when that came to be. Just one day I raised my head and looked around and it was changed.

I don’t completely understand. I don’t know if someone issued an edict, hitherto, “The word issue will be used in certain circumstances.”

The question it brings to mind, just when do I have an issue and when do I have a problem? I suppose even now, I have an issue, or is it a problem? Just when am I supposed to use the one word and when am I supposed to use the other?

It does make me wonder just why the change or who STARTED it. Or maybe I should ask who INSTIGATED it.

It also makes me wonder what words they might like to alter next. Sort of like using the improper word IMMIGRANTS for proper and legal term, ILLEGAL ALIENS. In this case, there is a difference, which the dems would like very much to ignore. They might even prefer that the meanings be exchanged.

IImmigrants came through Ellis Island. Those coming over the border illegally are illegal aliens…and that is according to law.
