I love thee Gmail....

Let me count the ways...

I love thee for your endless storage space

I love thee for your search capabilities, which has saved me time and effort

I love thee for your web clips that give me interesting tid bits of information to use in social settings

For example, the following web clip about why we say "pair of pants" and "pair of underwear" when indeed they are only one piece of clothing. Either way we say it, I'm just grateful that they are indeed one piece now, and not to pieces belted in the middle. That does NOT sound comfortable at all.

And, I'm grateful for Gmail, for all that it has brought to me, including, word of the day, which for today is arbiter--which isn't as interesting as yesterday's word, paucity. I have never even heard of it, and even after reading its meaning, I'm still not sure I believe it means few in number. It sounds like it should mean tentativeness or something related to pausing. I don't even know if I could use it in a sentence. Let's see:

The paucity of shoes in my closet is alarming.

I won't be adopting this word into my everyday language. It just doesn't roll off the tongue.
