Everyone in the chorus had a fantastic voice. But someone stuck me as outstanding. It was the petite girl in a pink dress in the front row. Her voice was like an angel’s, except better. Oh how I would love to meet this gorgeous singer, but my shy personality would take reign once again and I would be forced to just watch in the background.

A deadbolt. A locking mechanism. Nothing more I guess, though it sounds like an insult. If I called someone a deadbolt they would surely be offended. I can just imagine it now in an argument. “You shouldn’t have expected me to do that!” A person would scream to another. “Stop being such a lazy deadbolt!” The opposing person would yell back. For those who don’t know what a deadbolt is I could understand this mistake. Of course it would probably only work in an argument in person. Things are fast paced; you don’t have enough time to make intelligent decisions. Sure, hours or even days afterwards someone might look back realize how it was a horrible comeback and become embarrassed about it, anyone would. But chances are the other person, though offended, didn’t notice the mistake. On the Internet something like this would never go well. First off, the person you are arguing with probably doesn’t know you. This means if they notice a simple mistake they will call you on it because they simply don’t care about your pride. You have forever to respond to the argument. Because of excuses so their replies are more well thought out. Someone could just say their Internet connection broke, their computer froze or they had to let a sibling use the computer for homework. The possibilities are endless. People have spell check, they will notice grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and if you use a word wrong they can just simply look it up. You can be proven wrong so easily and that is why arguments in person would be easier to win. That is if you are trying to get into arguments. So back onto the topic of deadbolts…where were we again?
