Ehrgood hardly ever said great, rarely said words like amazing, and never, as far as I can remember, said perfect. To him, confusing something that was feasible with something that was plausible, something that was good with something that was great, was damn near as bad and just as dangerous as setting out for spice in Asia but, instead, landing in the new world (another misnomer). And with so much lost language all over the place, he could not imagine anything being perfect.
