In a previous post, I discussed the importance of choosing the perfect word over the almost perfect word.
This video, in my opinion, brings life to that concept.
The video description at youtube says that this is the three little pigs told with a "more classic, robust command of the English language," though apart from an alliteration or two (i.e. "The mighty maelstrom of the wolf's exhale splattered second swine's shack and shortened his sanctimonious scolding simultaneously), all the comedian did was use a varied vocabulary to retell a familiar tale.
Is that not evidence of the power of a carefully chosen word?
