Re: In love with a word

Unless maybe it's  really "speshul" ;)

The key to being a good, effective writer is to get the message across as
simply and as clearly as possible.  Fancy words used flagrantly are a
display of an insecure ego (sorta Freud, who was a wonderful writer, btw)
and waste a lot of good paper.
