Limited Vocabulary and Landmark Posts

I’ve been harassed to the point of exasperation by my mom and my previous roommate for persistent use of ‘Ya’…Mom-“ You never used to speak like that, it shows that your vocabulary is seriously limited’ ; Shilpa: “ Girl, say Yea or Yes or I agree with you or OK even ..what’s “Ya”??? … … Honestly , I don’t know the answer either, I’ve started checking myself whenever I utter the dreaded monosyllable ….

While I continue to search for blogging inspiration ..and struggle with my limited vocabulary , Sharath climbs even higher in the echelons of blogdom… :) ..Here he is being cited by none other than Shashi Tharoor!!!

As is usually the case, the responses can broadly be divided into two categories: agreement (sometimes enthusiastic) and disagreement (often vehement). But many in both categories of respondents are willing to see some merit in the opposite point of view, which has led to somewhat more nuanced positions than anticipated by blogger Sharath Rao in Pennsylvania, who cheerfully wrote, "I will leave Mr. Tharoor to read his weekly quota of hate mails".
