Not Kissing Cousins!

Good Day Readers!

Did the title pique your interest? Good! The topic comes from reading social networking sites and seeing the use of "cuz" for the word "because." My notes throughout the day indicate such uses as - cuz it feels good, I can't wait cuz, and cuz it's fun. Let's look at the definitions for cuz. 1. an abbreviation for cousin, 2.a term for crips to use for gangbanging purposes, 3. a brand of rubber dog toys, 4. an IATA abbreviation for Cusco, Peru.

Did texting bring about the downfall of usage for the shorted version of because thus becoming 'cause, then degrading down to cuz? Please do not use cuz, unless you are using one of the proper definitions. Let's improve our use of the English Language. Remember, often how we speak becomes how we write, and how we write often becomes what we say.

EWWWW! Heard "anyways" several times last night, but not at my dinner table. Thank goodness.

Busy day ahead with reading and writing. Reading Millennials in the Workplace by Neil Howe. Doing a review of the book and need to read over marked points for writing the review.

Have a very blessed day,

PS - Did you notice the italicized, bold pique at the beginning of the post? Just another lesson!!! More on that in a future post.
