The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.
Mark Twain
A woman I dated back in the 1990s has become a blogger. She and her husband live in Florida and she writes about their life in their seaside condo and their time away from home in their RV. She’s a retired teacher, but you wouldn’t know it from her writing. Mark Twain would call her the Queen of the Lightning Bugs.
