Catching Pockets

We discussed the origins of language as a progression of gesture to speech to writing (3-27). We also talked about how grunts and other sounds attributed to the formation of language. A blog about our own use of these sounds was suggested, and I couldn’t think of a particular instance at the time.
It recently occurred to me that I hate the drawers in my kitchen. The drawer pulls are shaped like a “T”, so they have corners that poke out parallel to the face of the drawer. This would not be a problem, except when I wear sweatpants, the pockets catch. It is as if the drawer grabs me, and it happens all the time. Each time it does, I utter some primeval sound without thinking. Such a response seems to suggest that literacy has not entirely suppressed the basic foundations of communication.
