solicitous

Postby William Hupy » Thu Oct 23, 2014 9:02 am

Now THIS is a good word. There is so much to like about it. Its ancient origin. Its full range of meaning. The way it rolls off the tongue. Solicitous. I have vowed to use this word more often after hearing my daughter use it this past weekend. Which proves that it IS possible to learn from our children.

Hmm... . I've seen "No Soliciting" signs before, and understand them. Would a "No Solicitation" sign mean the same thing? :shock:

In Britain, should one not wish to have a solicitous solicitor when accused of solicitation? But, then again, wouldn't the solicitor be solicitating against the charge of solicitation, and thus be guilty of solicitation?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
