Lessons for the Learning Englitian

When you invent your vocabulary
make sure you know how to pronounce them.
This is very important:
if you don’t know how to pronounce your created words, who does?

This was driven home recently
when the very title of a poem
was an invented word
but the pronunciation had not been appropriately developed
so trying to enunciate the name of the piece
became an exercise in futility.

Practice and forethought can resolve this issue in advance.
Simply pre-plan and think through
what your word should be
how it should be said
and whether people will immediately understand the meaning of it.
If they won’t, then your invented word
is probably not a good one
in the first place.

That was the case with the example
that incidentialized this poem, originally.
