Text received from a friend: See you there at 1, I will be wearing a pink jacket to celebrate the continuing fine weather.
Upon her arrival, I said, “That jacket is more fuchsia than pink.” She replied, “Yes, I know, and I was going to say fuchsia but then I wasn’t sure how to spell it and I went to google it and then I just thought this is getting ridiculous and it’s too pretentious anyway, I’ll just say pink.”

Praxis, isn’t it clear that that was what I meant?

18 October, 2013 at 18:31But did you have to google fuchsia to work out how it was spelt for this blog? Enquiring minds want to know.
I’d say it was pink but a specific kind of pink.
