- "Venge"
- I Think Not(t).
Sometimes I think. Sometimes, not(t) so much. These are my thoughts, or not.Tonight while I was packing, I was pondering about the Avengers movie. I realized that there are many forms of “venge” – as in vengeance, revenge and avengers, yet “venge” in and of itself is not a word.
Well… there is this, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/venge, but really they are talking about avenge as in to vindicate. One does not “venge” something these days - they avenge. Hence the "Avengers". In fact, type in “venge” in any word processing program – it will give the red squiggly line and the spell check will not recognize it as a word. I will get back to “avengers” in a bit.
Vengeance has so many definitions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vengeance However, that reminds me of the Carly Simon song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjv5gCUEWqk. (Editor’s note – I would really like to have her hair.)
Revenge denotes a negative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge. I find karma to be my best ally for such a task. Currently, I do watch this show. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1837642/. Yes, I like it.
As for the Avengers... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/ I will leave that up to the movie critics. I have better things to do in the dark for 2 hours and save the $20.
English is a funny language. Best for me to go be couth now. Heh.
OK – back to packing.
