That it is. It’s especially hard when you’re trained as a professional communicator to speak extemporaneously for hours on end. I can’t listen to my daughter for 30 minutes without yelling, “Like, gaaaaaaaa!”

Just because you "can" say something doesn't mean it is correct.
Just because the dictionary says a pronunciation is "acceptable" doesn't mean it is preferred.
If enough of the general population says something incorrectly, the dictionary and general language begins to "accept" that pronunciation over time.
You can "shoot" people if you choose, but I prefer not to ever say it in front of a paying customer.
I'm out of this.

Most direct + reflected, not diffused sources aren’t great for photography or video/TV work. I’m just glad we live in the age of LED panels.
Yes, they are amazing.

I feel your pain. My almost 30 year-old daughter is very intelligent, but you would never know it from hearing, “like... like... like...”.
The same: Alyssa is very bright. She can pick up a computer application in 30 minutes that would take me all day. She works for a large construction company managing their social media sites, photography, and video. Talk about genetics: photography and video are only what I've done my whole career life..

I will only admit to to one misapprehension: describing a wedding as a "once-in-a-lifetime event" Sadly 50% of marriages end in divorce, a figure that has remained unchanged for decades. I have several friends who are on their third "once-in-a-lifetime event." The length of some Hollywood marriages, of course, are not measured in years, but rather weeks or days.

Yes. It was tough for kids before the virus. I had read a figure of 30% of recent college grads living with their parents. Now it's crazy. I graduated college in 1969, and had a good job within a week. My son graduated in 1995 and had a sales job instantly. This is the worst time for 4 year college graduates. Many experts say that graduates of technical schools often make more money over the long haul than college graduates. There's also a tremendous disparity of income related to major fields of study. French Literature: prepare for poverty. Engineering: you'll have a well-paying job before you even have a chance to say "parents' basement." >Alan

Imaging is the larger set of arts and technology. It encompasses photography, typography, vector and bitmap graphics, video, film... Any or all of these (and more) can be combined to create an image or image medium.
As usual you are on target. I create images for some work and creative and I am an art director.
Image are many things to look at be influenced and create something for the audience to look at.

Maybe... But liberal arts grads often run the companies those engineers work for. Just ask Tim Cook (Duke grad who runs Apple). Our pathways are ambiguous and full of twists and turns, but many of us succeed because we learned how to learn, how things work, and how to lead people and projects.
I’m confident my kids will thrive, once they find their ways. I was in their shoes, once.

Kids have to find a way to distinguish themselves from the hoards of cookie-cutter 4-year graduates. It takes "street smarts" and dedication never to give up in spite of adversity and frustration. >Alan

"Image" also relates to an individual's style or personna.. another usage of the word having nothing to do with photography!
Oh...well..
Oh...well..

Exactly! It is a hard lesson to learn, but once learned, it stays with us.
Richard Nelson Bolles' "What Color Is Your Parachute" (second edition) was the book that guided me to that process. It is still kept up to date, 43 years later. https://www.parachutebook.com
Taking the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, and the Activity Vector Analysis helped A LOT. Both profiles helped me realize a lot of (different) things about my potential. These were tools we made available at work to help our employees understand their needs and strengths better.

Seems to me it is a personal preference so use what you like. It is just semantics, why worry about it, everybody will know what you mean.
