We, wee, oui, perhaps?

 

Which “we-“ isit ?

Dog and I went for our usual walk this morning, and all was well.  All is usually well on our walks, and generally the only thing that is needed is taken care of by one or the other of us rather simply.  You see, the main thing we need to do is generally done with a brief pause by the side of the road.  Or, really what I should have said is, a wee pause by the side of the road?  

This, though, is a bit ill-defined in that a wee pause, or a wee break can mean one of a couple of things.  The main question is “is that wee a noun, or an adjective?”  In one case a bit of material is left for the grass to enjoy.  In the other case there is just a slight pause and nothing else need be considered.  So, as one’s English teacher might say, which is it:  a noun or an adjective?  What is the difference here?

Well, it is something that is not particularly difficult, you see. And in knowing which “wee” we are talking about is just a bit necessary, in any case. 

One thing’s for sure:  We all wee just a wee bit too—right? 

Take that to your English teacher.  I don't suspect Ms. Carr is still with us, but if she were, I know she would appreciate this!
