The absorption of language into an ongoing life. Something interesting on language as it touches upon the author and the times.

"Waldorf Salad for Taurus Study"
This title appeared among the voice memos on my iPhone, dated 10/2/18. In looking back recently, I asked myself, "What the heck was this?"
Oh.
Periodically, I bring part of the repast we provide ourselves at Temple on noon Wednesdays. I recorded the note while eating a Waldorf Salad at a restaurant, listed the ingredients I saw before me so I could put them together for such a salad.
iPhone made no mistake as I dictated the title of the memo orally. The pronunciation would have been no different from what I uttered, but what Apple chose to hear was quite different from what I was saying: "Torah Study."
"Taurus" being from Greek through Latin: "Bull"
