Alright, it IS a word

My Dad used to invent words. You wouldn't find them in any dictionary and nobody else used them. We knew what they meant and even when he would invent a new word, one that we had never heard before, the first time he used it... we understood it.
Maybe other people didn't understand them but we did. He probably got the skill from his stepmother because she invented words too.
I was an early reader, read a lot when I was young, did well in school and had a rapid grasp of spelling, pronounciation and grammar.
Sometimes I wanted to say "Dad, thats not a word but on second thought changed my mind. I didn't always have a second thought. Very often I acted on the first thought.
Sometimes its better to act on the first thought and sometimes its better to act on the second thought. The bad part about it is when you make a mistake its usually too late to change it.
Now I keep my mouth shut when I hear a new word. New to me...it may have been around for ages....I just never heard it, saw it or used it.
I heard a new word today. I thought it was kind of like one of those words my Dad used to invent but luckily I acted on the second thought. The beauty of computers is I can look it up in seconds. I don't even have to pull out the dictionary, flip through thousands of pages, look down the column and then double-check to see if I spelled it right. I can go to Google and if I don't find it there (and if its a word I usually find it there) there are other places where I can check.
The word........intentionality.....I should have learned that one a long time ago.
