She quite rightly pointed out that it had become bland and the meaning was now far removed from the original.<br /><br />Did you know that it used to mean 'foolish'? And then it came to mean 'finicky' or 'particular'? It's been through several changes to get to where it is today!<br /><br />On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00496924033221866102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509837894723271120.post-9231516441902202502010-04-21T16:40:49.491-04:002010-04-21T16:40:49.491-04:00Nicely put.

Not all the time, but in certain cases defintely. I think the problem lies in that ~ in some cases ~ it doesn't say enough if you don't know the person. However, it is always nice to be nice. Me, I prefer the word kind. There isn't enough kindness out there. If people were kinder to each other, this world would be a lot nicer.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509837894723271120.post-73999903779251059532010-04-21T10:04:03.814-04:002010-04-21T10:04:03.814-04:00Great post, really!
