Def / Div / Def

When I was younger, I thought that defacto meant divorcee - that it was two grownups who were married but weren't together anymore, and now still together in the same house...

I've only just noticed how similar (the word) defacto is to (the word) defective...

Or from a potentially terribly insightful perspective, perhaps it is more than jus the words that are similar...

Hmmm, that is rather insightful, and heaps could be read into it. I hope it's all going okay for you.

I wasn't sure how I should disclaim that one - everythings good with me (can you tell I'm procrastinating my study by pondering such things?!).

BUT if it weren't, imagine how insightul it is - Or for someone who is yet to realise that they're not happy...

When i was younger and used to hear the word Euthanasia, i thought people were talking about the youth in Asia... and i'd wonder what the hell their problem was.
