What do you make of the fact that we can talk about certain things and
ideas only when they are absent? Once
they appear, our blessed English doesn't allow us to describe them.
Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or
a strapful gown? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated,
sheveled, gruntled, chalant,
plussed, ruly, gainly, maculate, pecunious, or peccable?
