Well, it seems i proved my lack of linear thinking by not.being.able.to.count! I do know that 3 comes before 4 but it was drawn to my attention that I goofed. So, today a twofer!!
My business name is "I'll Take Tennessee." It means: I = me! Marilyn Switzer, and hopefully as many 4th grade teachers, students, and parents I can entice to come on my tours. 'll= will, meaning to desire, choose, or consent.
Take = seize or capture, hmmmmmm
Tennessee = 16th state admitted to the United States; the place where I live.
So, the meaning seems to be, Marilyn Switzer desires to seize the 16th state of the Union.
Or, if you know someone who is studying Tennessee history, and they love a good narrative about people -what they felt, how they thought, what they did, then an I'll Take Tennessee tour might be for you.
Oh, and there is a website www.taketntours.com.
Day 3, what does your business name mean - check.
Riveting stuff, huh?
Interesting. I always read your company name another way. Like you (or I) making a choice. Sitting in a restaurant, you might tell the wait-person, "I'll take a Coke." Or when choosing donuts, you might say, "I'll take two." So when choosing a place to live, a place to work, a place to research, a place to REALLY know, I thought you might be saying, "I'll take Tennessee." That's what I would say. If anyone asked.
ReplyDeleteI meant "or me" in the second sentence. My Mom would frown. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteClark, I always interpreted it exactly the same way! And I want you to know your first grammar instinct was correct in my eyes. You are not using "Like" as a preposition, but as "It is as if I (am) making a choice..."--as a subject. Love you, Teach
ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation better. I stand corrected.
