12 MONOSYLLABLES. I have a passage in Trollope that has 27 successive monosyllables: I treasure it. Churchill said English is a language of monosyllables. They can be devastating
I hadn’t thought about these all being monosyllables, and it’s a great observation. I have tried to google for the Trollope quotation, and not found it. Perhaps you copy it here?
