  1. Thank-you for playfully engaging people to create language that will really communicate. I tried the game yesterday after reading about it in The Star.

    John Ralston Saul puts it well in the opening of The Doubter’s Companion:

    “Our civilization is unable to do what individuals cannot say.”

    I’ll continue to read the words!
