So if.. you have as much trouble as, it is apparent: You Do, with even so relatively-common a word as cloying; also haven't figure out that.. what you needed above was a thesaurus to rummage about in, for some likely phrase which you Do recognize:
Well, no one I associate with would be likely to consider cloying to be a commonplace word. I betcha none of my relatives would know what it meant, and John said it had too many meanings, to look it up, which I did.
Then your research-skillz are also, sadly crippled.
Not crippled, I was just too busy lately to research it too intensely, and I really didn't care what people thought of my post, so it also wasn't a high priority. I researched it more tonight, but again, the problem is there are too many possible choices, so once you get the list of possibilities, then you are sitting there trying to figure out which of the fucking choices fits the situation.... talk about frustration!
That does not bode well for your comprehending Why some of your missives strike chords in others, that are quite more dissonant than say, C-major triads (a simple, uncluttered feel-Good 'chord', that is).
I understand some people hate my posts. Some people even CRINGE when they read my posts... but you know what? This is fucking cyberspace... and fucking cyberspace is a big place... big enough for those that hate my posts, those that like my posts, those that are mildly amused by my posts and those who don't fucking care.
I've changed my posting level and style rather dramatically on here, and if people don't see that, well... they know the drill.
