I must say I love a good snappy word. Every so often one appears that has a certain elusive quality that just seems “right”….But I love to read a funny, illustrative sentence, too. That really “clinches” it for me and is more likely to get my vote. I have to wonder how many Verbotomists operate on the sly while at work.
