Hope it cheers you up:<BR/><BR/>“…a perfectly excellent quip about alliteration is countered with a double labial (unvoiced and voiced no less!) or two stops, or on a good day, and assuming one is not phlegmy, a few fricatives. It’s like fencing Dennis, you see–he rushes forward, floating above the floor as usual, and beats your blade in fourth only to feint head and cut flank and you whip around with a beautiful parry in seconde and smite him with just enough force across the right cheek to say “I vanquish thee vile varlet” but in language less alliterative (see what I did there?) and way less dorky.”<BR/><BR/>July 25, 2006 @ 10:55 AM<BR/><BR/><BR/>jean said:<BR/><BR/>Jim is also a linguist??
