this is no longer my blog

of a good word. I was reading a C.S. Lewis book this evening, and he used the word "quarrel" in a sentence. I took a minute and pondered this word. Not too many people use it anymore. We substitute argument or fight. And definition-wise, argument and quarrel are very similar. But I find quarrel is much more fun to say. "My brother and I had a quarrel," or "I have no quarrel with your decision." But neither of those are sentences we are likely to hear. I'm afraid that "quarrel" is on it's way out of the U.S.American vernacular. And for that I mourn.
So here is my idea: Why not everyone who reads this try to use the word quarrel 3 times this week in their daily conversations. Maybe if we combine our powers we will be able to reignite the excitement for this word.
I have no quarrel with us working together in this matter.
