Almost finished reading "Trent's Last Case" by E. C. Bentley. Trent was writing a letter and discussing the use of words... "Long words are abnormal, and like everything else that is abnormal, they are either very funny or tremendously solemn.... Then there's "terminological inexactitude". How we all roared, and are still roaring, at that!"
Interesting for me was Churchill coined this phrase in 1906, Trent's Last Case was published in 1912. Are their other examples of the phrase's use in fiction? PS: If you like detective fiction, this is a good one. Best regards, Pete van de Gohm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
