Jim Butcher Quote

Kitai blinked slowly. Why would you use the same word for these things? That is ridiculous.We have a lot of words like that, Tavi said. They can mean more than one thing.That is stupid, Kitai said. It is difficult enough to communicate without making it more complicated with words that mean more than one thing.
