    I hate it when idiots talk about language like that. It's plain that they don't have a clue what they're talking about -- i.e. they use the words to set up a specific feeling in the listener's mind, which, abracadabra, completely contradicts what they're saying. Now, say "potato". You have one chance. Get it wrong, and you'll have to call the whole thing off.

    I would point out that Sartre said, "commitment is an act not a word" which, if I understand what you are saying, is a similar quote, from someone with a great understanding of language.

      Here's my "rendition" of the song: Wedding Blues[^] :wtf: Enjoy! ;P No suit from the tailor, ...Don't have my shoes. Not even a tie, ...but I got the booze. No transport to the venue ...No active credit card to use Dang, I also need a haircut ..but I got the booze. Music list not finalized ...haven't paid my IRS dues, Vows ain't even finished ...but I got the booze. Now, if I don't drink ...that's OK, there's nothing to lose. Cuz, without a place to get ready in the morning. ...I'll Just stay in bed for that final singles-only snooze.

                  Yeah, me too. Really worried. :) I check the link to the profile once in a while and almost choked on a peanut when I saw the profile was alive again. I was just about ready to rain hell down on it until I saw there was only one posted message and nothing else. Maybe we should light it up, just to be safe. :evilgrin: Soren Madsen

                    Nope, he was just pointing out that people use words deceptively -- which couldn't happen if words didn't have intrinsic meaning and power.
