"Socialization" vs. socializing

I LOVE the bit about "socialize" as a transitive/intransitive verb! I adore Sandra's specific use of grammar, and using it as a window into how we think. It is delightful because so many of us USE grammar without KNOWING grammar, so to have it parsed can be surprising and enlightening.

This is quiet, at first. Breathe a couple of calming breaths while you wait, perhaps. It's only 16 minutes long.
