From the Record-Searchlight -- English, I believe, is most fun when it's misused. And no one misuses it better than small children.
Leigh, my endlessly comedic 5-year-old, for example uses the words "and" and "even" interchangeably. It's great. As she describes her day, suddenly lists of friends with whom she's spent the afternoon, foods she likes or colors she uses take on an unintended, enthusiastic immediacy: "I played with Abby, even Jack."
