Words are slippery things in the English language. I have a friend who was in the Navy being a linguist. Since he had a better understanding of languages, he always said, “English is the best language in the world.” Personally, I disagree.
I disagree on many points. The fact is, I cannot say many things without some string of adjectives in front of it to define what the heck it is I’m trying to say. I think that’s pretty dumb. I can’t tell someone I love them as a friend, without tacking on a bunch of stuff, because if I don’t tack on that crap, then suddenly I’m in love and my entire marriage is in jeopardy.
