Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! Just grab a cup of joe and enjoy.

What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of a coffee shop?

Coffee! The only answer to this question is Coffee. This is one of those questions that tests intelligence, isn’t it? Don’t think of a Purple Elephant. Look at that; I’m controlling your thoughts. I planted a vision of my choosing into your mind’s eye. I’m a magician. When you get right down to it, that’s what language is—the magical transfer of a thought, vision, or idea from your brain into someone else’s. We are all sorcerers in that way. Some of us are just far better than others at creating the exact image desired. Let’s give it the ol’ college try. A glass door opens inward, announcing you with a ding. The invisible aroma stops you momentarily as your lungs struggle to expand against the tight strap crossing your chest. Finding a tiny, circular table, you open the Mac Book Pro. Fingers run the length of your beard as you contemplate the untapped computing power. Aspiring writers to your left and right indulge in overpriced java as they, too, tap, tap, tap away on fledgling manuscripts.
