sing-songs

this is the song that never ends...yes it goes on and on my friends...some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, but they'll just keep on singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends...

lexographer, lexicographer, grapherlexic, pherlexicgra

im not a master of words, not exactly one of those word-whiz types...i read alot, more than the average person i assume, strong vocab, trying to keep it simple, have that artistic flair for poetry but it's not too well developed. i think it's really hard to say what u mean when u think about th language(s) we speak. there r words in one language that cannot be translated to another, there are emotions and feelings and states of mind that no words can capture, articulate or even begin to express the who, how, where, why, and whens...

language can be sexist and racist, language can cut through boundaries and put up walls, yet how fundamental are words for communication...and CLEAR communication.

now there's a thought..."clear" communication...what does it mean to have those two words together in a sentence. can we really have communication between two entities that is clear? for humans in particular, who r so prone to making their own interpretations, how can we achieve such a task without brainwashing each other first? and ofcourse, there's always the assidous effort involved in trying to communicate clearly with the opposite sex...there may be words coming out of your mouth, but the other person may be looking at body language, or you may be inflecting your words but the other person might as well be tone deaf. leaves little room for sarcasm, for joking, for flirting, for teasing...because if we don't communicate CLEARLY, we are misread, misheard, mistaken for something we are not.

i'm a lexographer**...but it's a joke...there's no such thing

**A lexicographer is a person devoted to the study of lexicography, especially an author of a dictionary.
