Why this word is great
LIPOGRAMMATIST — [Noun] A writer who composes lipograms, works that deliberately omit a specific letter or letters of the alphabet. From Middle Greek lipogrammatos (from lipo-, "lacking" + gramma, "letter") + the English agent-noun suffix -ist. Unlike the conventional writer, who navigates the full expanse of the lexicon, or the logophile, who revels in words for their own sake, the lipogrammatist is an ascetic of abundance, a mason who builds a cathedral while swearing not to use any stone that contains a vein of quartz. It is the monastic discipline of composing a novel without the letter 'e', the intricate puzzle of praising a sunset while banishing the 's', and the quiet triumph of a perfect sentence forged from a deliberately broken set of tools—a testament that the most profound expression often lies in what one has chosen not to say.
