A Friend in West Virginia, Part Eighteen

This is from one of my friend's emails after he turned on me, "why are you doing this," and then, "you are not a good person you are not friend maybe one of these days when you've gotten rid of enough people in your life u will realize what you are doing wrong as a human being." And then, "my blood pressure everything else does not need this kinda of stupid grade school drama.." I answered by reciting some of the things he'd told me he did to others, lies, deceit and actions, then I asked him, "And you say I'M not a good person?"

WORD HISTORY:
Off -This common word, closely related to, and indeed, a variant of, "of," goes back to Indo European "apo," which had the notion of, "away, away from." This gave its Old Germanic offspring "aba/abo," with the same meaning. This then gave Old English "áf," which meant, "away," and then "of." By about the 11th Century a more stressed adverb form of the word "of" had emerged, which came to be spelled "off," with the "away from" meaning, also, "removed in time or space." The word also gained in meanings, like: "off from work or operation," "the cancellation of some event," "the odd sight or smell of something," etc.
