Accurate & Acute Correspondence: From Tarzan to Trazan, From Karma to Crabman
I was watching ‘My Name is Earl’.
The series comprises kooky characters from Earl to his brother Randy to his
ex-wife to Crabman – his ex-wife’s
husband. Every episode introduces a nefarious and unusual personality.
Essentially, the plot revolves about the formerly incarcerated and
now-rehabilitated Earl seeking personal redemption from his transgressions on
people in his life. He draws out a long list of people and deeds he has to make
correct and better. Like his narrative emphases: ‘Karma has a way of coming
back in different ways.’
In one episode, Earl reads to
children from a mobile library a book about the ape-man ‘Trazan’ (a tome with
obvious typological errors and questionable content), which he based strongly
to one of his karmic deeds done well.
Tarzan or Trazan: spelling error
or anagram? We can use the same letters but with different arrangement.
Scrabble is a brilliant invention of a word game. We construct new words by
adding prefixes and suffixes based on the tiles we have, and how we configure
them. It is a good way to develop our vocabulary as well as aspects of our
grammar. ‘Scrabble’ can be misconstrued as ‘scramble’ if you read it in a rush
(as my colleague did one day). Many people do not read e-mails at a deeper
level of appreciation. It is so easy to get caught up in tasks that we choose
to comprehend messages at a superficial level.
Have you carelessly sent out an
e-mail, only to discover later your spelling mistakes? Have you actually
subject a person’s name through a spell-check, and dismembered them from their
attention? Not very respectful and recognizing of the person when we mispronounce
or misspell their name.
When you make distinctions on
words, then you may make discernments on your decisions. What would be a better
decision at that time? When should you make the decision? Who can you decide
with?
Read what you write. Write what
you read. One final check before you press ‘Send’ into the electronic universe.
Karma is a boomerang.
