Okay, it’s been 2 hours and I still can’t get back to sleep. I think it’s the discussion that I overheard at the beach while watching Steve play volleyball on Sunday. It replays over and over in my head. This IS driving me insane. I’m a corporate Attorney, dang it. I SHOULD know the answer to this, of all things. What if I wrongly used it in the past? What if a judge or jury noticed the gaff? Did a client suffer some indignity as their attorney mispoke on their behalf?
At long last, I can rest:
Affluence: That which results from wealth.
Effluence: That which flows or issues from any body or substance; issue; efflux.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
