"Echoic Writing" Lives Again

       Yesterday's blog entry might very well not be only an unusual coincidence of sound taking both writer and reader down strange pathways.

       It might be another fine (?) example of what I call "echoic writing" where the writer is simply influenced by his own writing preceding the "echo" word(s).  A word just said has sort of "imprinted" itself on the brain and is summoned for reuse, probably unintentionally.  It can be lazy or tired writing.

       Some previous posts of mine that have dealt with this odd, but not too surprising occurrence in verbal composition are discoverable here.
