"Language reflects reality imperfectly, but it's by far the best medium we have to express what is, as well as what was and what might yet be. Simply put, we are logocentric creatures. Style matters because it shows our interlocutors that we take our—and their—verbal expressions seriously. And for many of us, an appreciation of words is ultimately an appreciation of *logos*, of the Word."
