It has been known to me for quite a while that much is gained & lost in the use and control of words.
Can anyone suggest helpful reading (books, articles e.t.c) in this Art?
Thanks fam

I don't think he was talking LANGUAGE Habari.
He is talking about - self empowerment type books.

Well in order to understand words you have to learn the most ancient languages and then move on to the impact of words in life...

I mean using the English language as a tool ... the way Rasol uses it, if you know what I mean

Well, from the sounds of the book I just read, you'd be an ace at English too if you were a South African African who excelled in school in South Africa and had to learn both English, Africaans (Boer), and a Native language. I think the hatred of Boer may drive the talent for English maybe.
