(Crow and Companion driving around small California town before wedding.)
Companion (reading sign): What’s a grinder?
Crow: You know, it’s like a hoagie. Or a speedie. Or, like, a hero.
Companion: Like a sub?
Crow: Yeah!
Companion: So you mean a sandwich. Why don’t you just say sandwich? You silly Americans. So many names for “sandwich.” It’s like Eskimos with “snow.”

Every edit a book goes through makes it stronger. I would definitely want my trusted agent’s input.

Ah, makes you think. You have to love the gift of language. Gives us the ability to complicate the simple.
