[ WP ] A genius has been cursed to only speak one syllable words . How does this affect their life ?

The war between Science and Religion has been fought since the first man said a twinkle in the sky was an immortal body and some non-conformist caveman thought he might better explain. The culmination of this conflict was the cursing of world renowned physicist, Thomas Evertson, by some crackpot Wiccan on the eve of the most important interview of his life. Thomas Evertson has discovered another dimension. 
 
 Curses were nonsense, he thought, but could not say because two of the words were already too cumbersome. The radical in the hotel lobby who spit some ancient words was just that... a radical... a lunatic. And yet these were all these words that were part of his speech that he could never say into the mirror during rehearsal. He could not even speak his name. He got the Tom part down, but when he tries the second syllable he chokes on his voice. At the hotel front desk he finally had to resort to handing the clerk his driver's license after choking out that his name was Tom Ev for 15 minutes. 
 
 “ What will I do? ” Tom said to the mirror. He was always nervous before interviews. He would always feel frustrated as he tripped on his words. The reporters ’ eyes would glaze over at the first words and all he tries to communicate might as well be white noise. 
 
 Tom ’ s stomach grumbled. He lost patience with the hotel breakfast bar concierge when trying to explain the “ stuff to put in his egg wrap. ” An omelette is too simple to have an extra syllable. 
 
 The reporter looked at his notes. The producer counted down to zero. Thomas choked every three words, getting only the quant part of quantum mechanics in before switching to more basic terms. The most important discovery of his life, of the world, and he could not do it half its justice. Human progress will be laughed off by some panicked scientist who can ’ t put together a word longer than a third-grader might. It was not until five minutes into “ umm ” -ing and speaking in fifth grade words that he looked up and saw something different in the reporter ’ s eyes. 
 
 Tom stopped speaking for a moment. His mouth hung open. “ You... get... this... ” 
 
 The tv host laughed and grinned a white smile that somehow hasn ’ t gotten tired after wearing it for work every day of his life. “ You stopped speaking jibberish, ” he said.
