Lead for Example

I am constantly reading things wrong. Take the word live for example. Is it live, like keep on living or is it live like happening now as in we are live on the radio, which of course then they rebroadcast and it still says it is live but it isn’t. I find that a bit confusing. When I make the error of saying the word wrong, as in pronouncing it out loud wrong for that instance everyone seems very willing to laugh very loud at me. As if they have never made the same mistake. Lead for example. Lead is a perfectly fine metal used in making all kinds of things that are useful. Lead for lead’s sake is fine. When compared to Gold it is bad. It’s the connotation, not really. When used in the same context as Pewter, another metal used for lots of things, it is just yet another metal. Lead, though can mean to have others follow you. That is a bit confusing. I always read the “Lead by example” as the metal, not the follow me. It always makes me laugh. Other’s too if I had ever shared it. At the famous Joe’s in San Francisco, they wear t-shirts that say something about rain or shine there's always a line. I thought they were famous for always a line, like when the waiters came perhaps they were saying a line or something that was funny. I didn’t get it, but I always thought that. Then of course I realized they meant there was a line out the door. There isn’t but I guess they like to think so. Just as funny don’t you think? No point tonight, no point at all, just the ramblings of a blogger leading for example.
