Why Speakology?

Is there such a word?

Truth is, you don't see the word in any dictionary or thesaurus. Initially, I thought the best blog name would be "speechify.blogspot.com". On check if such word exists, speechify meant something dull or pompous. Who would ever want to be known for being dull or just plain pompous.

Reminiscing about my younger years, my teacher remarked I was a man of few words. It only did not come from my teacher but most people that I came across with. I'm also seeing this characteristic on my two sons Gamaliel and Yshmael. The girls are otherwise. I even abhorred writing essays. I can't forget the times when I had to write essays on my job applications.

I look up to people with a gift of gab specially when they speak in front of people. I love their spontaneity.

Today, this is my resolve. Go for writing, down with shyness and speak up.
