Have you ever noticed how two words describing the same
thing can have totally different connotations?
Today’s examples - Sprinkle and Drizzle.
To me, Sprinkle engenders pleasant feelings. Warm and somehow maternal
- We sprinkle flowers to generate health
and growth.
Drizzle, on the other hand is much more ominous, bringing
much more negative feelings. Nothing
pleasant about drizzle – it sounds cold and unpleasant.
Of course, it’s drizzling today.
