Today is Thursday pronounced Thur-s-day not "Thirsty." Okay, why am I telling you how to pronounce this. Truthfully, there's no point to this kind of logic and it could actually backfire, when you start saying; who is this guy and why does he think he's an expert in the spoken word. Actually I'm using this technique as filler because if nothing is written here, you would be staring at a blank page.
Let's talk about the word "assume" for a minute. As long as I can recall, the word assume has been used over and over again, and I have personally used it frequently, not thinking much about it. A few years ago, I used the word assume at work and was chastised by someone saying to me; "You should never assume anything, because you know what they say about the word assume; it can make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." I'm not sure that even makes any sense, but I understood it to mean I did something wrong by "assuming." So here's my question. If we aren't supposed to assume, what are we supposed to do if we don't know the answer? How can we ever have an opinion, because that's all that assuming is; an opinion. It might be an educated opinion or a shot in the dark, but it's still assuming. Anything other than the actual truth is an opinion or an assumption isn't it? Our whole life is a series of assumptions, so we must "assume" it's acceptable. I hate someone telling me I shouldn't assume, which you can probably tell by now, I assume.
