ok these are some thoughts i had on language and definitions of words. language is one of our biggest tools to get things done so to speak.
if we can't agree on what words mean either spoken or from translated text then we have big problems...

  • At a brazilian forum (ClubeCético) a christian (Jetro) introduced an article with a very clear definition of contradiction. Then, when he saw many examples of contradictions in the Bible... and he changed the definition. A vague and subjective argument. Someone said it was the Humpty Dumpty argument.

    Definitions don't change the reality...

  • "Definitions don't change the reality... "

    this is very true indeed. there are those that not only have thier own definitions for words but thier own little bubble realities as well. everything is peachy inside thier bubble,pretty scary if you ask me

  • ... All vernaculars can be absolutely defined by noting that an eight-facet polygon, symbolizing the eight faces of Man (2 genders and 4 genres - white, black, brown, and yellow), was the rigid mold around which the human species was designed and created, and that this symbol contains ALL abstract human concepts! First read YouTube articles "The Great Pyramid, why was it built - Lesson 1c" and "The Great Pyramid, Why Was It Built - Lessons 3,4", then Organize a World Academy of Language.

  • and it all seems a bit contrived does'nt it? :)

  • OMG. The tower of Babel - babble, the sound of people talking without you being able to hear what is being said. I only just realised the association between 'Babel' and 'babble'. Yes, I am occasionally very slow:D

  • lol

  • i couldnt agree more. this is why it is better to use something that is not lost in translation. numbers !! are key. geometry symbols are universal. because they work on fundimentals. there are secrets to be learned in the numbers. 5/3= do you want to know what really happened to the pentagon?

  • HEY!!! I agree with you. However this language problem has been with us for almost forever. Only in small towns where people born live and die in the same small town do people develop real accurate communications
