And now for something completely different

I believe it is time for a redemption song of sorts. I realized that I have come off as an uptight b*tch and that was never the intention of this blog. For that, I apologize!
It is easy to dismiss the whole subject of eloquence; there are so many other, more pressing, issues to be concerned about. What about the global warming and the [insert warzone of choice] war? The list goes on ad infinitum. So why even bother?

Some years ago, when I was a teenager, I had a sign on the door to my room that read: 'why should I clean my house when the world is in such a mess?’ Needless to say, I thought it was hilarious. So why should we mind the way we speak and write when the world is, for lack of a better expression, in a mess? The reason is fairly simple and more or less the same as why we should clean our homes despite the state of the world we live in. My hypothesis, I really do like to believe it, is a chain reaction that starts with something small and successively leads to something bigger.
How are we supposed to accomplish anything if our own home is in disarray? How can we organize our thoughts into something productive if we are surrounded by chaos? And then, subsequently, how can we get our message across if it is not clearly expressed?
If we start with something small, like learning when to use we’re, were and where, respectively, or organizing your closet, we may become less confused and more focused. Armed with our new focus, we may in turn move on to bigger things and before we know it, the world is a little less messy than it was.
As I have said before, communication is the key to success in all areas of your life. You will be judged by the words you utter, whether in speech or writing, just as any potential visitor will judge you by the appearance of your home. Your home reflects who you are in the same way that your utterances mirror who you are. Show some pride in yourself! The inside really does count.

I will now go home and immediately organize all my important papers and I will keep you posted on all the good things that will come of it!
