Language. Some people get it and others don't. It's a precision instrument to me. I prefer to act as if language is a luxury and a privilege. My only annoyance when people play fast and loose with words is when they do not honor the roots of language.

Without those who taught us how to do it right, we would never have found the freedom to do it wrong.

Think of what e.e. cummings might have done with words if he didn't have the freedom of knowing where the boundaries were so that he could cross them.
