Hemingway earned the items words. In both the term, as they were given substantive adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions articles. I do not remember where I got that information, a thousand years ago (when not even know who was Hemingway), but I was impressed strongly. In my neighborhood had a grocery store, a haberdashery, a drugstore, a bakery, a dairy ... But there was no store of words. Why, being a lucrative business, as evidenced by such Hemingway? To sell milk or bread, I thought it was necessary to rely on other vendors that logically had to pay, while the words were available to all on the street or in the dictionary.
imagined then that would put a store of words to the people of the neighborhood is coming after buying bread. Only I would sell at different prices. The most expensive were the nouns, because substantive I supposed, came from substance. If the substance of a sentence depend on this part of the sentence so it was obvious that was worth more. After came the verb and noun after the verb, adjective. From there, prices were pulled. When a client in my fantasies, I bought three nouns, I Rule four or five conjunctions, for loyalty. My father, a commercial agent, used much the word loyalty. Where, otherwise I'd get that rarity grammar? In my imaginary store was also a section of missing words, for people capricious or crazy. I still remember a few: copribato, rebogila, orgáfono, piscoteba, aguhueco, escopeja ...
The imaginary business was going well. Everyone needed my words. Shortly after opening the store had to hire two employees because they could not cope. Then I bought the floor above to expand the business, then came a time when people asked me also phrases. I put in the basement a workshop with four grammarians who spent the day constructing sentences. They were of many prices, of course. The phrases were the cheapest. I remember, among which were more successful, closed mouth no flies and no ball scratch, but I also liked the book to read to someone, be a hard nut to crack, sucking camera hairs to sea, or my tailor is rich. The price of the sentences were increased as less common or rare. For some reason I did not understand, there was much demand absurd phrases. It hurts my shoes, for example, the mirrors make organic flour, or zippers are less sentimental buttons. Eventually I had to create a department dedicated exclusively to the construction of absurd phrases.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe store of words and phrases I found it very liberating, because I always thought living was damn hard. The biggest fear of my children was to end in a corner, selling tissues. One day my mother, after sighing with a look of pity, wondered aloud what would become of me, I told him not to worry, he had decided he was going to put a store of words. After meditating a moment, I said that was nonsense and that I should put my energies on practical issues. That ended my dream of selling words. Then, more, I found that classified ads were a very important chapter in the income statement in the newspapers. But do not say anything to Mom, who was not guilty.
Anyway, I ended up living on the words. I have no store open to the public, as dreamed then, but I get up in the mornings, ordered on paper or send them to the newspaper publisher and get paid for them. In both the piece. A piece is an article. The term is also used parts from hunters to name the animals killed. The similarity is correct, then write a text closely resembles hunt. In fact, it often escapes us. The other night, in bed, eyes closed, I flew past a super durable cranial vault. I got up, took a notebook that I have on the table, point the pen, but the piece was gone. Since the massive use of computers, we have the items words. Are you reading this will have some 4,700. I can calculate how much I get the word and say that Hemingway collection in plan. But it still seems wrong to get paid the same for a noun than an adverb. An adverb occur to anyone.
