Marking Time

While we wait for this bloggist to shake loose time to blog more or less seriously again, I offer the following for my half-dozen readers' amusement and bemusement: there's a world of difference between the two nearly-identical words, childlike and childish.

Which one is this?

    This is child-like.

    And it's wonderful. This is a picture I would treasure for the rest of my life if I was you.

    There's a lot of Sherwood and Diane in that picture.

    What ronnie said! That's a picture future generations'll cherish too.

    It's like the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs, kind of.

    One word gets used to describe one's self, the other to describe others.

    No, I didn't, Dann, not on the one that made it to print.
