Sprachgefuhl

Sprachgefuhl is my new favourite word. Smole and I love the way it rolls off our tongue. It is what we aspire to have: an intuitive sense of what is lingusitically appropriate.

*ah-hem* For example, readers praised mis_nomer's sprachgefuhl and her graceful, melodious phrasing — that is, when she remembers how to spell.

Or, for example: Sharman Apt Russel writes with sprachegefuhl. She makes boring subjects come to life with her pen.

That is a real sentence that will appear in an upcoming post. Stay tuned.
