If “no” became the only word he could say, he could express all his opinions quite clearly. I thought this today about a particularly pessimistic and difficult man. Then I thought about other people who could get by with tiny vocabularies and still express all their sentiments. One friend’s would include Yes, No, How, When, and Yippee. Mine would be: Do, Give, Want, Make, Me, You, Good, Thanks, Love, and Hurt. If could only speak 10 words, what would they be?
Hmmmm....My 10 word vocabulary would be: 1. I 2. Love 3. Feel 4. Could 5. Never 6. Understand 7. Praise 8. Adore 9. Want 10. You
