Sometimes one must fight the urge to attempt to translate gibberish, it grows worse daily, a few years back I would wonder just what such a post might have meant to the one who posted it but now I assume that he himself did not know what he meant. Maybe I flatter myself but I suspect that I grow wiser with age. I am losing the conviction that some people are wise in thought but simply have a problem in expressing their wise thoughts in an easily understood message.

The phrase I truly despise now is, “You know what I mean.” I am apt to respond with, “If you know what you mean why don’t you just say it?” Yes, I’m a grouch but at least I know it.

“Sometimes one must fight the urge to attempt to translate gibberish...”

Good point. I’m too old to spend time trying to sort out unintelligible ramblings. Doing so is a reflex that I need to get better at resisting!
