“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.”

Mark Twain, who never in his life settled for the “almost” right word, made this statement more than a hundred years ago. And a hundred years ago, Twain’s audience likely responded with a resounding huzzah! It’s an old English exclamation of joy, applause or appreciation.

(Not to be confused with huzza-huzza, a modern English shout-out to the opposite sex).

Today, Huzzah Speechwriting + Communications is a Calgary-based firm specializing in speechwriting – and words of all kinds. We’ll help you inspire your audience, boost your profile or stock your award wall…and that’s worth a huzzah!
