years ago the discussion at the time was about "The Reoccurring Dream".
It seemed to go on forever and evolved into a heated argument about why
Joni used the word "reoccurring" rather than "occurring". I was amazed
that so many people not only knew the song but felt so passionately
about it they were arguing about her use of one particular word. >>
First of all welcome Patricia and some of the other new listers who have
posted in the past couple of weeks.
..........and Debra, I can't believe that you just mentioned "The Reoccuring
Dream". Just last night I had some friends over for dinner.
I can't remember what the conversation was about, but I said something had
reoccured. All of my friends know my grammar sucks and someone corrected me
saying I should have said "recurred". Of course I said "No, Joni has a song
called "The Reoccuring Dream" so it *must* be right". We checked my
dictionary (which is VERY old) and sure enough my friends were right. I just
said if Joni says reoccur, then I can too! :~)
Anyway Deb, you've probably been on the list longer than my 3 1/2 years, so I
don't remember this particular thread. I guess I'll have to check the
archives. Still I think it was strange that you brought this up after my
dinner conversation last night.
counting the hours to Joni-fest,
Jimmy
