New words needed |
|
The power of a good story was well spelt out in a recent Ode magazine. In my opinion, the ability to tell the right story would be well assisted by the adoption of an improved English vocabulary. Many of us struggle under a weight of awkward words like ''environmentally sustainable'', ''pc'' , ''new age sensitive'', ''anticapitalist'' etc..... I would like to find:
Maybe the ideal words we need are already out there in other languages. Please share them with us. But anyone wishing to contemplate some new-word-sculpting could consider how comfortable the words are to speak.. Would you agree that latino or non-teutonic-sounding words, with a greater vowel-to-consonent-ratio, are more melifluous and possibly more likely to become popular? |
