Microsoft Word underlines these words in red [...] even when they work efficiently in giving us the sense of the stone: "caen-stone," "enfouldered," "rugas," "foveoles," "foraminous cavo-rilievo," "fiducial stones." The study of these stones becomes analogical to a deeper understanding of the difference in "dialect," in language: "I study you glout and gloss, but have / No cadrans to adjust you with."
