[Vwoolf] on words

 Have enjoyed the confessional discussions of principle vs. principal, imply vs. infer, and interred vs. interned. The consolation for all this consternation rests with Virginia of course who asks, where are we to lay the blame? "It is words that are to blame." "They hate anything that stamps them with one meaning." "The little wretches are out of temper, disobliging; disobedient; dumb."(Craftsmanship). Molly Hoff
