Thanks for your comments....Hi Sam,Nancy, and Abbie,<br />Thanks for your comments. It is very funny to me how a word becomes popular by the media and some people feel they have to use those "new" fake words.<br />I suppose, as a writer, I should embrace all words. In the future, an author might feel he must use the word "trending" when writing about this time in history.<br />But who actually uses these words?<br />I never hear them in normal conversation.Glenda Beallhttp://www.glendacouncilbeall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-18938754499750952102011-08-21T12:40:09.363-04:002011-08-21T12:40:09.363-04:00I don't know that I have an A list per Se.

I was not very popular in school, I guess, because of my visual impairment. I had a few friends from time to time, but I've since lost touch with them. I think this whole trend list business is ridiculous.<br />Abbie Johnson Taylor, Author of We Shall Overcome<br />http://abbiescorneroftheworld.blogspot.com<br />http://www.abbiejohnsontaylor.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-83402945011616960162011-08-17T13:25:24.880-04:002011-08-17T13:25:24.880-04:00Your A-list comments hit home.

Just for fun I made a list and found Husband, Family, 4 Junior High School friends I'm still tied to, neighbor friends and writer friends who are unreplaceable. I've learned to hold on tight to these people...and know I married my best friend. None of my A-list people can be called "Trend Listers." Thanks for the thought.<br />Nancy PurcellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-28440546835267184142011-08-16T06:47:09.660-04:002011-08-16T06:47:09.660-04:00Trending drives me crazy too Glenda. We lived out ...Trending drives me crazy too Glenda. We lived out of the country for 10 years and when we came back, we had to learn a lot of new words. Problems were called issues. Smart business people became visionaries. And here I am worried that the new generation is getting away from the language by texting. What will they think of next.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
