The word can conceal or reveal different emotions, states of mind and ways of expression. It can open or close entire worlds of imagination and possibility. It is the conduit that can rise or dissipate hopes and expectations of individuals by the way it is presented. It has the power and ability to change situations for the better or for the worse simply by the way it is put across. The word holds within itself all meanings, intended and otherwise. Its power cannot be overestimated. The book intends to pay homage to this attribute.
