This Year’s A to Z
April Blog Challenge is indeed a great challenge to me!!!
 |
| A to Z Blog Challenge |
You may ask,
"Why?
Right,
That’s indeed a good
question!
To begin with, I
must confess that the challenge last year was really not a success for me.
You may ask again,
"Why?
Ok, due to some
unforeseen travel towards my native land I could not reach the finish line and
midway it ended.
But this year’s
challenge I am sure that I will reach the finish line.
As enough time is
available in advance to prepare the post as well as to visit the fellow
bloggers, I started browsing more and more blogs mainly connected with this
challenge. Since I am now on board with the Co-host Tina Downey’s Life is Good, that is
Tina’s Terrific Team (TTT). I mean the new assignments at T T T I am
prompted to visit more and more pages at A to Z Blog pages.
As I was thinking of
this year’s alphabet many things flashed in my mind, but browsing through many
posts and comments from A to Z Challenge I have noticed one particular thing
which I wanted to make known to my fellow bloggers and friends.
Let me come to the
point where I want to write on:
The A - Z challenge’s first word “A”, I thought I will write about the word “Awesome”.
The A - Z challenge’s first word “A”, I thought I will write about the word “Awesome”.
There is a reason to
select this word as my first post.
I have noticed many of my beloved friends here at this great web
world very liberally use this word "Awesome” for anything and everything, to appreciate
some posts or writers or some wonderful or marvelous things happening around
us. This liberal usage of the word I noticed in many posts even at A to Z Posts
and comments I thought I need not wait for April first and thus this post
today.
As many of you know
that I am a foreigner to this wonderful language called English. And ha, my
mother tongue is Malayalam a South Indian language. Though I am not an English
expert, a doubt raised in my mind:
Can we use this
wonderful word “Awesome” with anything and everything?
As far as I know and
my understanding goes:
This word can
only be used with the ‘Word of God’ and the ‘God Almighty’.
This is my belief.
I am sure a few may get offended, so will you please respond to my doubt and
give me some light on this.
Thanks in advance
for dropping in.
With Kind Regards
And Best Wishes for
a Happy Blogging.

Hi Phil,
ReplyDeleteAs we discussed, I think it's a cultural difference in what kind of English we speak. I will certainly respect your wishes and avoid the word when communicating with you. I do understand your concern, but with me it's a different word: glorious. My husband believes that word should only be used in reference (and reVerence) to our Mighty God.
Let's just call it cultural differences, while also trying to respect the other persons right to their own beliefs.
Thanks for being on my Terrific Team, Phil. You're a huge asset to us.
