Wariness is essential where an inaccurate word could give an impression more exact than could be given by a verifiably accurate term. One is rewarded for knowing the way and compelling a resistful un-English-speaking taxi-driver to take it when he says upon arrival–
dumfounded and gratified–“Ah, we did not suffer any lights.”
–Marianne Moore, in her little essay “Subject, Predicate, Object”
