Barry --

First, let's recall that the stake was to be driven through its evil heart -- meaning the DWSD legal entity, not through their heart or hearts, as in a person or persons. I would never suggest that! That would be cruel and unkind!

Second, under the general category of vocabulary and diction, note that the quote was, "The DWSD is the last bastion of dirty politics in Dracut. We should drive a stake through its evil heart while we have a chance." It contains two sentences. The first sentence is declarative, with a mix of syllable use. The second sentence is imperative, and contains all one-syllable words, except for the word "evil" , which is intentionally emphasized by the author.

It's not the vocabulary words, boys and girls; it's how you string them together.

Pithy before pithy was cool,
Dennis
