SEMANTICS.
ehm...ehm.... *clears her voice*
Today we'll discuss seriously...
Hey, you, yes, you in the last bench ! I saw you were giggling...
Ten blows with my longest and thickest ruler on your buttocks! That will teach you interrupting me when I'm starting an important lesson.
The importance of onomatopeia.
If I say "Z"...and lengthen the sound, it can be perceived as the noise made by mosquitoes
But a softer buzz (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) can prompt images of a much more useful animal
and of the result of his hard work
It can also be perceived as the sound coming from the throat of some sleeping subject (see how I can be good at lecturing ? )
But a single "Z" has for me a totally different meaning. A spectrum of feelings, a turmoil of emotions.
"Z", in this case, is so close to the letter "M" as in MINE !
