Colds are caused by drafts.
I’ve gotten into many arguments over this.
Some people say, when there’s a draft in the house, or when the temperature changes suddenly, or when they go outside with wet hair…
They get a cold.
A stuffy nose. A cough. Sneezing. Tiredness. Maybe even a fever.
I say, Nonsense!
A cold is a virus.
And viruses are hitchhikers: they travel from person to person.
So you get a cold from another person, not a cold draft because you left the window open.
What do you think?
DRAFT #2
This week, we’re examining all the different ways you can use Atomic Word #1,885: draft.
Remember, the root word from Old English meant “to pull.”
This modern word has a different spelling and pronunciation, but has kept the original sense.
If your house has a draft, you can feel cold air from outside moving through the house.
It’s like the cold air is being pulled through your house.
Got it?
Good!
