I have a tendancy to get into those anti-emo rants too hehehe--suffice it to say despite Donnie's recent classification in the 'EMO' genre it hasn't lost its cult-like touch and the dignity of a good movie.

And yes I read the article Lalaith I like this portion:

Quote:
In his essay "English and Welsh", he put forward the theory that words have a beauty that is often quite separate from their meaning. He wrote: "Most English-speaking people ... will admit that Cellar Door is ‘beautiful’, especially if dissociated from its sense and from its spelling". The English language is full of ‘Cellar Doors’, words that are beautiful, strange, sensuous or simply fun to roll off the tongue.
