Sometimes life is worth the risk. Reading medical articles provides me
with no end of fascinating language constructions.
Translating complex ideas is the mainstay of our occupation, sometimes
you just need to show someone the strange convolutions that percolate
through the grains of language.
It delights me to have compatriots with whom I can chortle and muse. Bemuse me.
Our morning cuppa, if you would.

are even incapable of forming such opinions.
