    I love this Ann. Great wisdom. When I don’t pay attention, I do tend to make a mess. Cleaning it up is never much fun.

    First of all Ann, thanks for referencing the HCB post — very cool!

    Secondly, I, too, use “oh” in all its variations — I should have included that in my “canned responses” list! But you are so right — tone and cadence can make all the difference. It’s not the words themselves that are erroneous — it’s how we use them and the thought, or lack of, behind them.

    I like how you thought about this and delved into the topic more here.
