Los idiomas corresponden a las necesidades de quienes los hablan y, si a un idioma le falta una palabra, es porque le falta un concepto o, mejor dicho, un sentimiento. (Victoria Ocampo)

Languages fit the needs of those who speak them, and if a language lacks a word, it is because it lacks a concept or, better put, a feeling. (Victoria Ocampo)

okay, folks. how many times do i complain that i cannot express what i am thinking. well, the problem could be one of many things. for starters, it could be me and my total and utter lack of competence with the english language. solution: i could try my luck at another language. i have/am trying that... but i have heard that the english language actually excels in having multiple words to convey a thought. solution #2 for the same problem: i could actually go back to school and sit in on an english-as-a-first-language class...

okay, y problemo numero segundo (somebody just laugh at my crappy spanish please -- my bro in law would be ashamed of me...), the words just simply aren't out there for what i am feeling. solution: i start making more words up.

... i am liking plan B. lots of people do this already, why can't i? i mean, my mom for example does it all of the time, and a certain PT professor that many of us have grown to love... well, and then there was a slightly-well-known bloak named shakespeare. who ever coined the word "coining" a word, anyway? and what is the word for when someone with a neurological impairment makes up words? ...see, they do it too.
