Stephen Fry

"But do they bubble and froth and slobber 

and cream with joy 

at language?"

I am not alone in my admiration for Stephen Fry. And this brilliant diatribe is yet one more reason why. Yes, it is a bit long-winded, but so is he... and so is the nature of his argument. Often, sadly, I think the love of language is dead, and most who use it have no idea of its potential.

People who talk and write like Stephen Fry probably sound absurd to some, like walking antiques. But I don't care. I love it.
