if writers fail to use less familiar

words, they can never find their proper

way into the language, so always have a

little dab there on your pallet. i

applaud their use; i do it all the time

myself; feel we have that obligation; i

even freely coin words that we lack when

clearly there is a need. i like the

strength of the tale you tell here, but

think the "big words" as they say assault

the palate like way too much oregano in

spaghetti sauce. spice it up good, but

sometimes a little bit less is more.
