So..is it like this?
Voltage is either the work it takes or would take to move one coulomb from one place to another.
Work is a convenient thing that relates force and distance to each other.
Hence, work in voltage is how much force and distance it takes to reach a certain point in space.
PE is how much work it would take for a given amount of charge reach that certain point in space.
It takes force and distance, or work, to move negative charges across a resistor because..how else does something move? Or, in the case of charging a battery, it takes work to move negative charges the other way around for the same reason, maybe.

Ohh, starry isn't even an adverb :/. I'd forgotten that things like "blue green" were different from "bluish green."
