Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

"Should Have, Could Have, Would Have" - Hättste, Wennste, Könnste.

I should have started this project much earlier. About 10 years ago I started to write down pretty much every English term I had to lookup. I am still maintaining this list in a Word document which now contains about 2500 words, phrases and idioms. Unfortunately, at some point I, that is, my pedantic self, ordered all words alphabetically which I shouldn’t have done. The chronological order would have been so much more interesting, like a trail through my life. Oh well, too late. About 2 years ago I realized my mistake and from then on the chronology is preserved. I may revisit some of my notes for this project. Obviously not all lookups would have deserved to be mentioned here but I am sure there could have been some stories worth sharing.
Now, in addition to private diaries and vocabulary lists, we live in a world of blogs, public writings in reverse chronological order... let’s see how long I can keep this up. I really should...
