		<description><![CDATA[Truth be told, much of the meaning we convey to others is extracted from nonverbals rather than words. It&#8217;s generally accepted that words are secondary to just about everything else as a communication medium. And, even as a word-a-holic, I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that a wink or a smile can condense into a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordwatcher.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4863382&amp;post=54&amp;subd=wordwatcher&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intelligence is an amorphous concept that is difficult to measure. This may contribute to the confusion between the terms &#8216;intelligent&#8217; and &#8216;knowledgeable&#8217;; if our best and brightest minds continue to argue about the nature of intelligence, how can the rest of the populace pin it down?

Family members and friends are quick to tell me that my life will be irrevocably altered by this union, and many of them imply that the alteration will be for the worse rather than the better. “He won’t hold the door [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordwatcher.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4863382&amp;post=18&amp;subd=wordwatcher&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
