words

.

Gotta love a person who loves words.

"Being noticed by a policeman was better than not being noticed by anyone, which was their usual fate. It was just that they had no idea how to string to sentences together -- indeed, stringing words together was almost beyond them. Their real linguisitic skill lay at the phoneme level. Chantelle could have snorted and grunted for England."

From Fell Purpose by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.
