And who in my long life have seen the word "decimate" used correctly exactly once?<br /><br />But, yes, I do. I happily distort words -- or at least stretch them -- whenever I can, not to deceive the reader or impoverish our tongue, but to enrichen the language, as Shakespeare did, to show that our language is more plastic than we might have hitherto imagined, that our plain English words have more meanings than we might have thought. As when Henry V says that they will "enlarge" the prisoner, meaning not that they will increase his dimensions, but that they will set him at large.<br /><br />Poetic license in the hands of a poet is a good thing, or at least we are willing to tolerate it, and in the hands of an ordinary citizen it can make for sparkling conversation. (Do we distort the word "sparkling" when we apply it to a conversation?) But it is when politicians begin to exercise the license and words are given different meanings in order to deceive that things get dicey and verbicide becomes an ill thing.DEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017391447185559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-70570619587426155132013-01-01T08:48:29.521-08:002013-01-01T08:48:29.521-08:00Happy New Year, Amalia!Happy New Year, Amalia!Ruth Horowitzhttp://ruthhorowitz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-48197228134588845222012-11-27T23:22:57.777-08:002012-11-27T23:22:57.777-08:00No doubt there are some words we might be glad to ...No doubt there are some words we might be glad to see fall victim to a verbicidal rampage.

Lately, I have been reading and reviewing several indie authors. I am writing to tell you that if you ever want to use your new favorite sentence, just offer to review some indies. "S/He is an unrepentant verbicide" will lead off the section on the poor schmo who calls an abortifacient and "aborticide." Hmmm. Murdering an abortion. Does that mean spontaneous regeneration? Oh well. I like your writing style, and I write in Spanish from time to time, so with your permission, I'm following you.The Aquabloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012517864249324205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-10661828149835277692012-11-15T13:05:21.207-08:002012-11-15T13:05:21.207-08:00Good luck with the new project!Good luck with the new project!Ruth Horowitzhttp://ruthhorowitz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-52227076662843214652012-11-13T20:08:40.386-08:002012-11-13T20:08:40.386-08:00Ah, alert reader Georgiana, of course that was on ...Ah, alert reader Georgiana, of course that was on purpose ;-).

I also kept a daily journal, whether at home or abroad, and wrote long and often illuminated letters. I did not want for material and only taste and good judgment restrained me. Then I started writing about my great grandfather in the Civil War and my writing became more focused and, I feared, less amusing, and I began to substitute chatty Christmas cards.<br /><br />It was great fun, though, and I would recommend it to anyone.DEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017391447185559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-32216530024394912072012-10-09T21:21:22.623-07:002012-10-09T21:21:22.623-07:00I like the booklet (chapbook?) as annual letter id...I like the booklet (chapbook?) as annual letter idea.

Like a Christmas letter that got out of hand. I would run about 50 copies, thirty or forty pages, xeroxed and bound however it fit my fancy. For my cover I once used old coastal navigation maps and another time splurged on hand-made paper. I sewed or stapled the bindings and illustrated it with my own drawings or photos or anything whose copyright I figured was not too diligently guarded. I filled it with stories I wrote about trips I had taken and whatever I was writing at the time or old items I thought they hadn't seen. It began as a casual Notebook and wound up something of the Book Beautiful. It was great fun and I still put aside interesting bits of art or paper stock that I think I might someday want to use, but for now my blog is enough of that sort of work.DEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017391447185559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258106215710395512.post-69388261238122259682012-09-06T20:40:05.662-07:002012-09-06T20:40:05.662-07:00So many people never even get started from being c...So many people never even get started from being caught up in the possibilities.
