Today's Webtip: Stephen Fry on Language

A few words on words. Animated in words.

I like Stephen Fry. I like to think of him as my best imaginary friend. By that I mean, if I had to imagine what my best friend would be like, he would be almost exactly like Mr. Fry.

Of course, since there really is a Mr. Fry, and he likes to write and read and act and do podcasts, it means the only imaginary bit has to be the friend part.

One of the traits I find important in potential imaginary friends, is the abillity (and willingness) to rant. Something that Mr. fry can do quite well. One of his more enjoyable rants has recently been converted to a typographic animation. A rant about words. A rant illustrated by words. I find that quite appropriate.

You can find the rest of the rant here:
