>... I translate my thoughts into words and for this I use whatever suitable word - not necessarily the most appropriate one - first comes to mind. Is this how glossolalia begins? Sometimes, when giving a public technical presentation, I have found myself stumped for the most precise word. Rather than utter whatever comes to mind, I stop speaking, think for several seconds while saying nothing into the microphone (such as "you know", "uh", "like"), and then speak the appropriate word. It is also permissible to write in this same fashion. IBM-MAIN is, and my technical audiences have been, populated with many perfectionists with a half century of experience in the behavior of z/OS software and its predecessor operating systems. As I have found out from some of my earliest posts on this list server, I am best served by taking extra time to compose my thoughts and choose my words carefully.
