More words

Just a small FYI. I am simply sick of having to think when I type. I am constantly caught in error concerning "a lot" and "no one."

"A lot," I am going to let go of. I am pretty good at just avoiding the phrase all together, there are much better words that can replace it.

However, "no one" is up for a remodel. When writing, I have allowed myself to combine the words, noone, but in speaking this leads to confusion. Fortunately, I have friends who find themselves in the same proverbial (or adverbial) boat. It was recently suggested to me that a slight modification could turn the silly sounding mistake, to a usefully unique word: "nooner."

I have posted this so that in any future posts it will be clear what I am referring to should I discuss, "nooner showing up for the free sai lessons," or, "my intelligence seemed to be surpassed by nooner."

I appreciate your consideration, and do not discourage your implementation.
