vendingmachine commented on the word vowelist
So, every -ist is an addict? How exactly does an addiction to vowels manifest itself? Do vowelists insist on buying game-show vowels even when a vowel is not needed to identify a word or phrase? Do vowelists suffer mercilessly when encountering languages such as Czech?
Strč prst skrz krk
