Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I'm waiting for you to use some of these offbeat, random words in another award-winning screenplay, personal essay or novel.
I don't know how to pronounce them*, much less use them in a sentence. ;)

Screenplays are lean, mean machines. I never use any words that are not simple and ordinary.
Have a Good Shabbos.

Robert,
I think that you might have a case of logolepsy, an obsession with words. If you have to be obsessed about something I think that this is a good one.
Have a Good Shabbos.

I think you might be right; on a larger level, I'm obsessed with the prison house of language.
Have a lovely Shabbos.
