Introduction

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ivan Cherevko, I am man of many trades, and I blog to introduce my craft to the world — craft of verbalism.

When looking for verbalism, any dictionary will yield you this (or something like this):

ver·bal·ism (vûrb-lzm)
n.
1.
a. An expression in words; a word or phrase.
b. The manner in which something is phrased; wording.
2. A wordy phrase or sentence that has little meaning.
3. Abundant use of words without conveying much meaning.

But I don’t consider myself using words abundantly without conveying much meaning; or leaning to wordy sentences. I want to tell you about different kind of verbalism, hailing for Lating word verbum [word].

For me, verbalist is one who have gained, either from birth or from practice, mastery over words.

What does it mean?
Stay tuned.
