The season of awards is upon us. The Grammies, the Baftas, the Apsara Awards, and a score of others. In this connection I resurrected a piece from the New York Times that had caught my eye several years ago. It consisted of words used in acceptance speeches at the previous six Academy Awards ceremonies. The more often a word had been used in these acceptance speeches, the larger was its depiction in this article.
Any guesses as to which word was the largest in size? Scroll down to check!
Not surprisingly the word thank was the largest in size and iconic/indexical in its representation, where otherwise it would have had a purely symbolic (represented by the letters that make up its spelling) representation.
