Perhaps it is the cadence. The music we have been taught in the form of language that communicates in ways deeper than we can comprehend.
Fun words roll around in my head and in my mouth as the meaning of the word and the sound of the word are aligned to create the perfect expression.
Today's words of the day are
happenstance
It just happened by circumstance.
verisimilitude
A similarity to truth (verity) (or google's definition: "the appearance of being true or real")
It isn't just the sound though. Perhaps it is also how it looks, the art of the word. The visual appeal that the letters create. The dips, peaks, and tittle islands that create an image (yes, tittle sounds like a dirty or frilly word, but it's just the name of the dot above i's and j's). Sometimes words have balance.
I like words. :]
