Wail vs. Whale

This Tuesday Tip is from my personal experience this week. I thought I knew the difference between wail and whale, and I did. Kind of.


Most know that a whale is an animal that lives in the ocean. Most commonly the verb wail means to cry or complain loudly.


But did you also know that an informal meaning of whale is “to beat”?


Now, even though a  vocalist in a band may wail a song, the drummer whales on the drums; and lead guitarists when they thrash their instruments wildly, whale on them.


I learned something new this week and I hope you did too.

Happy Halloween!

I’ve never been a big fan of Halloween, but I would probably feel differently if it worked like this! Do you have a favorite Thriller/Horror/Paranormal book?

I can’t begin to tell you how true these words are. Thankfully, my husband understands this truth as well.
