There seems to be a problem with language. This is an extreme example, but for those who have given it some thought, even within our own culture and language, there are problems. Ask five people the definition of one word, and you will likely get five different answers, and then people are arrogant enough to think they are "right" and someone else is "wrong" . . . . How the fuck do they know what someone else is thinking, when they cannot reference their personal dictionary? Two humans trying to communicate is one of the biggest jokes on the human race, it is like a blind man groping in the dark for his lantern. Take five words and string them together in a sentence, using your own personal dictionary, and who knows what the fuck you said!
.
No wonder computers have problems with humans, they are just fucking illogical, emotional, and boring.

Years ago I was at a manager's meeting at Boeing (I was visiting -- I never worked for the lazy-B).
There were multiple millions of dollars salary around a good sized room and the speaker happened to use the word 'irregardless'. Someone interrupted them to point out that's not a word.
The speaker handled it perfectly. They asked if anyone in the audience thought they might not have understood the meaning. Of course nobody spoke up.
So the speaker said 'apparently it is too a word -- sit down'.

Language is for communication and speakers should know their words and their audiences. I get disappointed when people don't know the proper words to convey their message and that includes not using words that their listeners might misinterpret.πŸ˜‹

Someone sounds like he’s having a bad day. πŸ˜‰

Thinking is not a bad day.
