Down with UGH.

Old habits die hard, they say, but what about archaic language? How long did it take to eradicate thee and thou from our vocabulary?

I thot about it at length. My thots lead to other thots

Why do we allow our thots to be invaded by negative impulses? Ugh. Don’t you think the word thot looks much prettier without it?We have to watch out where our thots drift into ugh.

Just think of all the keystrokes we would save if everyone stopped putting negative thoughts into their thots? Maybe we could change the planet! Maybe we can start a new word ecology. Think of the ink saved on all the printouts throughout the world.  Might we even save paper, and thus trees? 

If we start small with our thots, that will change actions. Often thots lead to actions.

Of course, the whole written language could use an overhaul. We have wasted letters everywhere. But it would be hard to get everyone to agree to pitching ughs and other hangers-on wherever they appear. I am just advocating starting small.

(I for one am grateful for people who text message are helping move to a more streamlined language. Some would call it a revolution.)

Perhaps we could easily do the same thing with through.  Who needs an ugh when they think something thru? Especially in thru traffic, it would be nice to eliminate one of the ughs during rush hour.

 I love taking UGH out of thought. I am hoping it goes viral. Don't we have enough ugh in our life without adding it to our thots? We are already overwrought, for too long have fought, too much have we bought and too often have sought. Plenty of extra ughs there.
