I wonder if Robert the Misogynist .. er, Heinlein would really want to be remembered for just ONE word
An ingenious playwright can create an entire scene "out" of ONE word.
ONE word can germinate an entirely new way of looking at or investigating reality, for instance, the word "biosystems" which is said to be sweeping through academia today.
ONE Word can even launch a universe, or all the universes, so the bible instructs.
Any person who creates ONE word which ignites untold thousands of minds and sets them racing off into untold thousands of new directions, has a place in history for all time, wouldn't you say?
Consider our own Faldo ... who inspired "adroitless".
How much faldage has Faldage toiled so fruitlessly to publish all of these many years without a single word of it springing to mind when it might serve some useful purpose?
Consider then the triumphant singularity of a single word, just ONE word, in the life of our very own Faldage.
If Faldo never inspires or creates another single new word, can anyone say Faldo is livid in vain?
Even if no-one else were to remember "adroitless", "adroitless" will always be on the tip of Faldo's tongue.
Some will say, that's exactly where "adroitless" belongs.
[Just kiddin, Faldage. Male bonding stuff, ya know.]
