after some lively conversation with friends about my previous post’s word choice (hooray), I have another thought I’d like to share.
Interjections are accessories for a sentence. I would maybe even say that they are the word icing on the cake. That being said, today’s language has become highly abbreviated and interjections were the first to go. What started out as shortening words to single letters in the written form (you to u), has slowly invaded our verbal conversations. Afterthoughts of excitement, such as “hooray!”, no longer have a strong presence in both verbal and written language. Although, I am choosing to not erase the bursts of joy from my word bank.
I consider the interjection to be my best accessory; maybe even the pop of color amongst the bland grays of statements (well-it is fashion week). This fall season, I will adorn my conversations with its embellished flair, even if to some it seems out of style. So while others are wearing their abbreviated black minis of conversation, I will be the lady with the flowing, neon gown expressing joy in every sentence.
