I wonder what shape words take if we could see them. If I open up the shapes feature in my word documents, I can see all sorts of fun things. Maybe, a word is like a circle, a square, a triangle, an octagon. An arrow could be something direct and pointed, an arch for something high level.
If I could see my words, would I use them differently? If arrows stuck, would I choose something softer? If circles bounced and never settled anywhere, would I choose something a little more straight sided?
The shape of words, the shape of the meanings – I wonder what they would look like.
