Actually, I wonder how easily that phrase would translate into other languages?!? Hmm...

"Words are ever evolving – but not without controversy. From creative applications of an apostrophe to the overuse of literally, what makes you rage?"

"A new language, when you learn it in depth, provides you with a second soul"

As a writer myself I'm very aware of the profound skill of a translator, and how much can be lost or gained in translation!

And our word of the day; POLYGLOSSIA!
