"Everything counts a little more than we think..."

each word is an individual choice

slated in moments, mused at 3:05 pm

word choices really are important.. the nuances of difference in meaning/tone of each word, whether due to definition, or current/cultural interpretation, or other unique/personal imprint,.. semantics and poetry.. all with intention to convey an idea or feeling, or to impose one or the other (or others) upon others. and varying vocabularies, and especially varying contexts, and even sometimes fleeting moods, all affect the message. fundamentally it’s all simply about communication. a comma or alliteration shouldn’t make much difference when it comes to communicating a point.. but it can make every difference of importance significance.
