At a certain point, what people mean when they use a word becomes its meaning.

When articulation is impossible, gesticulation comes to the rescue.

Dangling punch lines to forgotten stories remain in the language like the smile of the Cheshire cat.

What a joy it is to see really professional media manipulation.

I welcome new words, or old words used in new ways, provided the result is more precision, added color or greater expressiveness.

When your government, employer, landlord, merchant, banker and local sports team gang up to picture, digitize and permanently record your every activity, you are placed under unprecedented control.
