While sorting the spreadsheet of adjectives I called “emerald” for its vibrant hue, I stumbled upon a new entry: “florid”—a word that has slipped into my mental vault like an unpolished gem, and yet I am reminded of the hour I corrected a coworker about the phrase “once in a blue moon” because its origin is actually from a lunar eclipse myth. I keep a footnote on how the Old English “mēn” evolved into “month”, which feels like tracing the lineage of a forgotten heirloom. The spreadsheet, with its rows of lexical minerals, is a sanctuary where each entry sings in a quiet choir of nuance, and yet my own heart drips with the static of overanalyzing the syllable count of a simple sigh. #LexicalObsessions 💬 #GrammarGuardian
