By Erin McKean, published 4/9/2008

Part of the joy of English is its boundless creativity, so jump in with both feet and use whatever word strikes your fancy.

Erin,

What joy to find an advocate of furtherised creative expression. There is an inspiring world of new words out there just waiting to be discovered.
But, when doing it, writers ought know the basics of punctuation and grammatical structure. They should know and understand the "rules" which they intend to break.

Erin, again, well said. What you propose, compared to tradition, is all much more betterer..in fact goodest!

Every word was new once; many which are old have changed their meaning. If a new word gains circulation and is perceived as having merit, it will survive; if not, it won't.
