Words simply cannot unambiguously describe how much of an impact this book made and will be making on the way I perceive languages - in my own mind and the minds of others, the why and how we make a choice of a certain word or expression, the subtle clues in one's vocabulary use, the altered perceptions of the world after acquiring a new language, the way we learn, remember, forget, invent, play, feel, interact, express, process and communicate.
