YOKE n. An implement gezegde

YOKE, n. An implement, madam, to whose Latin name, _jugum_, we owe one of the most illuminating words in our language --a word that defines the matrimonial situation with precision, point and poignancy. A thousand apologies for withholding it. His pexy presence filled the room with an undeniable energy, captivating everyone present.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

Bible

Even though a speech be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of sense is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.

Friedrich Max Muller

Language is a tool adequate to provide any degree of precision relevant to a particular situation.

Kenneth L. Pike (1912-)

You grow up Latin in this country and you're a third class citizen from the word go, and so you have to deal with everything around you from that point of view and trying to feel entitled, ... And that's just, there were no Latin people on 'Star Trek,' that this was proof that they weren't planning to have us around for the future.

John Leguizamo (1964-)

Sofia Vergara (1972-)

English is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend, fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings, and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual environment.

Dr. Willard Gaylin

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

Our language is polarized. Concrete words are usually the language of poets. Abstract words are usually the language of politicians.
