letters of note: i like words

dear sir:

i like words. i like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. i like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. i like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde. i like suave "v" words, such as svengali, svelte, bravura, verve. i like crunchy, brittle, crackly words, such as splinter, grapple, jostle, crusty. i like sullen, crabbed, scowling words, such as skulk, glower, scabby, churl. i like oh-heavens, my-gracious, land's-sake words, such as tricksy, tucker, genteel, horrid. i like elegant, flowery words, such as estivate, peregrinate, elysium, halcyon. i like wormy, squirmy, mealy words, such as crawl, blubber, squeal, drip. i like sniggly, chuckling words, such as cowlick, gurgle, bubble and burp.

i like the word screenwriter better than copywriter, soi decided to quit my job in a new york advertising agency and try my luck in hollywood, but before taking the plunge i went to europe for a year of study, contemplation and horsing around. 

i have just returned and i still like words. 

may i have a few with you?
