I’ve gone through life hearing the phrase “a stitch in time saves nine”…I never knew what it meant, but I was listening to a podcast where a linguist was explaining the phrase about bad apples spoiling the bunch and he mentioned the “stitch in time…” phrase (without explaining what it meant). At that moment it occurred to me.
Those are weird, but cool moments…Do I feel like my life is going to change now? Not at all…am I a better person for knowing what it means…Not at all. Does it deserve an entry on this page…yes!!!
Have a looked up the phrase online to verify that meaning is the right one? No way!!! Better to be gloriously wrong in this case 😉
