There are 2 languages in English — latinate/French words and Germanic/Anglo Saxon words.

Anglos Saxon words are more sonic — closer to the reader, shorter. They are used when we want to communicate effectively: FUCK OFF. French, latinate words have lots of "shsssh" sounds that dilute the important strong vowel sounds.

Latin words are longer — like "perfume" not Anglo Saxon like "stink."

We hear the sound of words as we read.

It is important to consider the distance to the reader as we write, — do we want to be intimate or to be more objective at an distance?

Do you want to have language act like an invisible window pane or do you want it to have a bit of character/visible flavour? Will Self or Hemingway.

Do shorter words also mean Germanic? Like ‘bask’ for ‘basking in the sun’ is very specific and descriptive but it is Germanic because it is short? Also does Germanic mean emotionless? Because Emily read her Germanic one straight to the point without emotion
