Words. So many ways to put them together. And if even one word is out of place, the entire meaning can be wrong. Which is why Carter concentrates so hard on the letter in front of him. If he unknowingly makes a mistake, he won't have a chance to correct it before everyone at home reads it. In school he had never had much use for writing. He preferred putting together chemicals to putting together a composition. Then he found himself in Stalag 13, where letters were the only form of communication with the outside world. So he concentrated, focussing on each word. If this letter is all that folks back home will get from him, he wants it to be just right.
