I'll have to do a post retracting my sloppy use of the word, 'virtue'. I'm afraid this experiment lies squarely in the realm of behaviour modification. We'll see.

The thing about a job is that for a good third of the day you have built in virtue potential. When your main occupation is on going, nebulous, and prevents you from doing anything that allows focused concentration for any length of time - 1) how good can it sound? and 2) There is lots of opportunity for non-virtuous activity. This is why I should give it all a try ;). Yeah, these thoughts are why this is such a dangerous idea – my fear of embarrassment is definitely a limiting factor for me to do this!

It just ain't so effective. If it’s imposed by someone else, the word is hypermicroawareness and you’re spot on… It just ain’t so effective.

And I'm squelching the impulse to nag- after all- I'd actually find out if it got done or not. Do you think the Language Team would submit to this? Bet it only works if done for one's own edification. Ah- finally I get to indulge in watching reality T.V.- um blog.
