vote, n.  the instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a
fool of himself and a wreck of his country.


                                  w


w double u has, of all the letters in our alphabet, the only
cumbrous name, the names of the others being monosyllabic.  this
advantage of the roman alphabet over the grecian is the more valued
after audibly spelling out some simple greek word, like
_epixoriambikos_.  still, it is now thought by the learned that other
agencies than the difference of the two alphabets may have been
concerned in the decline of "the glory that was greece" and the rise
of "the grandeur that was rome."  there can be no doubt, however, that
by simplifying the name of w calling it "wow," for example our
civilization could be, if not promoted, at least better endured.
