I love words. Just take the word "word" and roll it around in your mouth. Purse the lips for the "w" but don't whistle. OK, wuh wuh wuh. Hmmm. Interesting feeling. Now, wor (sounds like were). Feels different; almost like the beginning of a smile. OK, let's finish with duh. No, just lightly. Not as in "Well, duh!" Now we have the whole word. Say it again. Again. Again.
Well, that's what happens when I'm reading and come across an interesting word. I see the shape of it, and try to shape it in my mouth. Taste it. Feel the texture of the letters against my tongue, lips, even throat.
