Clarifications

I want to make two clarifications based on today's discussion. First, I am using, words, as working titles to help summarize and memorize what the work (film / drawings) that follow are attempting to arrive towards. In that sense, words are innate tools that assist in constructing, similar to a drawing or a model. Second, there has been some conflicting information. According to these two sources, the definition of "laconic" is as follows:

1. Dictionary.com
using few words; expressing much in few words; concise

—Synonyms brief, pithy, terse; succinct.
—Antonyms voluble.


2. Webster's New World Dictionary
brief or terse in speech or expression; using few words

—SYN CONCISE
