I am forever surprised at what passes for entertainment. Many find humor at seeing others fall down, while some enjoy the antics of politicians. I, as you have seen, simply have fun playing with words. Even the heavier words, like calliope are not gravity prone. I haven’t encountered any words that are sharp or pointed, have slivers or are flammable. Fussing with sentences has never required a hard hat, safety glasses or protective gloves.
I have had some slippery ideas get away from me, but the clean-up has been quick and easy. My hobby has not required renting extra storage facilities, as I only have the one dictionary, and that has always been adequate to hold everything, including any and all required punctuation. It has proven to be a good hobby for those allergic to exercise or who live in a place that encourages mosquitoes, as it is an indoor activity. No sunscreen necessary.
I should mention,
however, that there are side effects to continually playing with the written
word. Your verbal skills will diminish,
and there will be some who actually believe you know what you’re talking
about. That is not good. The last thing you want is people looking to
you for advice. Should this happen, hand
them your business card, first making sure your price list is on the back.
