"Lost for words....."
This is one of those metaphors of the English language which I have found really paradoxical until now when I am really lost for words. I mean how can someone, who's sufficiently literate be "lost for words" ? God knows how many words there are in the Oxford English dictionary! Someone even tells me that they have added all the colloquially used words in the lexicon now. I am really pained at this butchering of the English language but then who am I to complain, right?
Anyway, the point is I presume not so much in actually not knowing the words, but being so overwhelmed as to not find the right words. There I go meandering into a road which really has no destiny. But then I like this lonely meanderings and hope someone will join me someday.
But then it has worked again and I am probably back on track.

I guess I wasn't too lost for words after all........
