In So Many Words Star
Well said, all of it. You can tell a statement from an arrangement, and you saw how one small -ment turns an action into a thing you can name, so state becomes statement and arrange becomes arrangement. You know that Vinny's verbs do different jobs, that to illustrate is to show with pictures while to translate is to carry words across languages. You held incredible apart from sensible, the amazing from the wise, which trips up many a reader, and you matched the Mayor's formal words to Slang's on the register floor, where irritate meets bug and celebration meets bash. Eight words, into your collection they go. Bravo. You said it well.
