Most Evocative
What to you are the most evocative words in the English language? Proper names included.
There is a subtle range of meanings for the word "evocative", but I'll leave that up to you as well. I started thinking about this after my mind drifted to the word "Spitfire". http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1175226880.jpg |
