Another message from the west coast. My brother tells me that today is Wordsmith Day and has challenged me to do some wordsmithing. So here goes. I could tell you that this morning, during a gushing rainfall, I went to my polling place, pushed all the right buttons and cast my ballot for the primary candidates of my choice. Or I could just say I voted this morning. How's that for wordsmithing? And, by the way, I'm pretty sure that gushing rain this morning was another tidal wave from Lake Michigan. I'm sure at least three small fish hit my windshield. Or I could just say it was raining really hard this morning. According to Google, to wordsmith means to improve the clarity and style of a written work. But sometimes I think it's more fun to obfuscate, confuse and complicate, unless of course you're writing an instruction manual.
