Sometimes Words escape me…


Sometimes you hear the phrase, "so and so is such a beatutiful person…" uttered by someone who is trying to describe another's personality attributes as opposed to their physical attributes. You know what I mean? Like for instance, Jill will say of Harry, "oh, Harry is SUCH a beautiful person, simply beautiful." She's not referring to Harry's physical presence, but rather the fact that he has lovely personal qualities.

Frankly, I've never been a big fan of this sort of designation. I find the language confusing because the adjective isn't being used in the way I generally perceive it.
