My God! The English ordtak

en My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn't just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you've got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren't only bombs and bullets / no, they're little gifts, containing meanings!
  Philip Roth

en 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. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character.

en That's the job of language; that's the job of English. This is taking very traditional, simple, clear-cut words of the English language and figuring out which words, which phrases to apply at which opportunities, which times.

en We don't turn into bats and the werewolves kill with ultraviolet bullets that shoot daylight into us. We shoot the werewolves with silver nitrate bullets.
  Kate Beckinsale

en The emergency funding measure cannot be short-sighted -- it cannot simply replace bullets for bullets and bombs for bombs spent in Kosovo,

en Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.

en The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
  Henry David Thoreau

en I agree that the fine should be used to benefit English language learners. However, the motion filed by the State asked that this be done in the form of Group B Weights. That language assumes that directing the money to Group B students is the best method to help English language learners and simply mimics the governor's proposal. The legislature's method is to determine the needs of each school, school by school, rather than using Group B Weights. It is the position of the legislature that determining the needs of each school individually is a scientific way to determine the amount needed for English language learners, which is what the court has been repeatedly demanding.

en I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get
  Mark Twain

en That pass was a duck. If anybody would have had a shotgun in the area, it would have been shot. In practice (Bryant) throws bullets. He looks like Brett Favre, but then in the game ...

en If events go well, that's what you report. If things are going poorly, that's the reality. If bombs blow up and bombs kill Marines and kill soldiers, that's an important story, and covering that is not bias.

en Yeah, that's something I base my game on, is a lot of communication. Bobby does it very well, being a center back. Facundo is getting better with the (English) language, and he's stepping up as well.

en Or are you against law and order, siding with those firing bullets at the police, throwing petrol bombs and blast bombs at police and attacking them?

en To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.
  George Orwell
