->I love the English language. It started more than thirty years ago, when I was still reading my SF novels with an English dictionary besides them. And then, in one of [[Creator/KeithLaumer Laumer]]'s "Literature/{{Retief}}" stories, I came across the word "defenestration". Which I had to look up.\\
And verily, I heard a heavenly choir upon realizing that the English language was so great as to have a word for ''the action of throwing someone or something out of a window.''\\
I decided there and then that nothing could beat the English language. What wonders, what miracles might I yet find in it?!
