“Writers fish for the right words like fishermen fish for, um,
whatever those aquatic creatures with fins and gills are called.”
Jarrod Kintz

“As vocabulary is reduced , so are the number of feelings you can express, the number of events you can describe, the
number of the things you can identify! Not only understanding is limited, but also experience. Man grows by language.
Whenever he limits language he retrogresses!” Sheri S Tepper
We think with words, therefore to improve
thinking, teach vocabulary. -- A. Draper and G. Moeller
