Noell, I always love your layouts and you have great tips that help the process move along. However, do you know that journaling isn't a real word? I know, the industry has created it but, it is like nails on a chalk board when I watch the videos or hear you on the PRT.

All I can hear is my English teacher pointing her finger at us in class and teaching us the "ing" doesn't make it a real word.

@jmspegel Hello! Yes, I'm aware -- I had to tell my computer to turn it into a word so it would stop underlining it in red. :)

I heard wonderful lecture on American Sign Language in college about how languages are living and breathing things that grow and evolve naturally with a culture. A language that is forced to be fixed and doesn't evolve is not considered a true language. The word, "journaling," is a cool example of a language evolving to meet a community's needs. Sorry it bugs you.

@jmspegel Yeah OK, so you have a thing about what you call "proper English" and feel the need to point it out to people (even when there isn't any need) good luck to you! " I take for granted that not everyone was blessed enough to have a strong educational base" and yet, you used ain't like as if it's a proper word. Anyways, not everyone speaks the same and what's proper to one isn't to the next. Even here in London, from town to town people speak differently. It's just how it is! Get over it!

@hellbunny992 As long as Noell knows it isn't a real word than that that is fine. To others, I take for granted that not everyone was blessed enough to have a strong educational base. American English was altered due to Webster not liking how England used them in the early 1800's. I am thankful that I grew up with teachers correcting my errors rather than allowing me to walk around saying things incorrectly and being ignorant . Now if you forgive me, it if funner to be a dummie now ain't it?

@paperclipping4u @jmspegel That could be said bout a lot of words lol The word "you" was almost never used up until around late 1570's. Until then, people used the words like "thou" and "nom". As Noell said, language is an ever evolving thing. Just like most things in this planet, it evolves to better suite the needs of its time. And if your English teacher would be pointing her finger, well then she needs to learn more about the history of language before teaching others ;)

What a great video! Thank you so much! I love all of the wonderful tips and journaling options! :o)

@jmspegel It takes time for a word to appear in a dictionary. A language evolves every day. It's not because it's not in the dictionary that it is not correct or that it doesn't exist. A word exists when it is used by a community of people. I don't really understand the point of denying that the word "journaling" exists, given its importance in the scrapbooking/art journaling community.

Anyway, I'm done with this irrelevant conversation. If you know better, then, good for you.

[jmspegel]

@mipmip123456 Well, feel free to point me in the direction of the dictionary that has the word "journaling" listed. Then I will apologize. Just because you use a word doesn't make it correct. A suffix isn't to make a word grammatically correct, adding a prefix or suffix changes the meaning of the word. Take note when you spell the word and it comes up on spell check.

That fact that you used ain't also makes me question your understanding of the English language.
