Get a Dictionary

I will be the first to admit that I have a limited vocabulary. Blame genetics. Or not. Either way, it has officially blown up in my face as a problem. Not only do I have a limited vocabulary but the simple words I claim to use I have been using incorrectly.
In my attempt to leave comments I find that I should keep my thoughts to myself or simply grab a dictionary beforehand. The first would be easiest and the later (I had to look that word up just make sure I spelt and used it correctly. I still not sure, now that I looked it up.) would be wiser. I recently left a comment using the word "cheesy." I have completely used this word incorrectly I have now learned for years! In justification, I was just trying to be light hearted for a little laugh but typing that mood across is much harder than expressing it vocally. In this failed effort, I have offended not only the blogger but the followers too. YIKES!!! Thinking I was using it as a synonym to mushy, I couldn't have been further off. I do apologize for my stupidity (to the blogger and my hubby, who is still making fun of me for starting trouble with my lack of sense and it probably really does embarrass him sometimes. ) I truly meant no harm or to be rude.
I have learned that not only was my vocabulary minimal but now practically zilch. I will be exchanging my 1st grade reading over for a dictionary.

I still don't think you used it incorrectly . . . I think it's just hard to emote lightheartedness in type. ;)
