“Sometimes a language will have a word that’s best for describing an idea, sort of like how the French have a term meaning the feeling you get after leaving a conversation and thinking of all the things you should have said. God. I know that feeling. (And how great is it that that phrase exists?! It’s l’espirit de escalier, by the way.) I can’t describe that feeling in an image. I can’t even describe it concisely in English. I need French to do that. Ideas are like that too. The right tool for the right job, the right language for the right idea.”
