Word Play<br />
The English language, with its rich, hybrid history and innumerable sounds and word choices, is<br />
ripe with opportunity for wordplay. It almost begs for it! But why play with words? Writers like<br />
Lewis Carroll and Norton Juster prove that wordplay can be a worthy and thought-provoking<br />
challenge, a source of fantastic amusement, and a splendid avenue for conveying meaning.<br />
