I buy 2-3 wireless mouse online once a while. Then when I lose 1-2 mouse, I feel the ‘need’ to buy more mouse, and I do place order online waiting days, weeks for mouses to ship to me.
And I keep losing them.
I mean, my cat doesn’t eat them, and mices don’t go anywhere. But I keep losing, and feel anxiety when lose them.
Sadly, many people don’t understand the difference between using and quoting a word. I find it reassuring that at least lawyers and judges do.
