My first exposure to this thought was on a construction site with #UncleJoe #APlumber as I helped him put in a sink:
"10 different guys would come out her and do this in ten different ways"
And before reading of Arundhati Roy's reasons for refusing to sell movie rights to _The God of Small Things_ #GregoryRabassa in #IfThisBeTreason writes,
"It is a common notion that if a work has 10,000 readers it becomes 10,000 different books." (p.8)

In #IfThisBeTreason the great translator #GregoryRabassa talks about #EvergreenWords and #Cervantes. This week I talked with people who only knew #DonQuijote as a big Japanese store, or as #DonKiHotate, a shell-shaped character in #AnPanMan cartoons. The shell characters rides a snail, named #Rocinante I guess. I wonder if #SanchoPanza makes an appearance too?
I bet the 850 words of #OgdensBasicEnglish are mostly evergreen words.
