Language was not made for humans...humans made language, and continues to evolve it in the process of life and survival.
that is the basic and urgent function of language..SURVIVAL! which means the essence of the function is to effect communication between individuals to facilitate survival. precision is a function of what it takes to convey a message that advances meaning between people, meaning that helps us forward. it may take few words, one word, or a lot. many words can be precise too.. even where fewer words would be correct. but correct and conveying precise meaning may not be the same thing between different people every time.
verbose my arse! too many words where fewer MAY be more precise! sure! and who is to say, save by experience we come to know what is better where and when ::confused::
and words are limited by experience of which there are always great differentials between people. some societies have many more words than others given the extent and possibilities on limited versus extensive developmental, existential bases, on and in which various peoples live. the word desktop for eg.,may be incomprehensible where people are not used to computers. they may have heard what a computer is but may have no idea of the expanding sum of nouns verbs and conditioners relative to computers, existential and increasing, in a world where computers are in wide usage
I feel no compunction, or compelling need to limit myself in these pages. eff dat!
I don't see how such limitation is in my interest at all as it reduces my focus and attention span, reduces my vocab and use of the language. it drives the language into the very limited constraints of the language programs on the computer. soon enough language falls into those narrow parameters permanently and becomes easily readable to those who write programs to monitor language for spying purposes. it would be great for the spies if the language is contained..or is reduced to a certain set quantity or usage.
when I look up all I see are apps or programs in proliferation that attempt to lasso human activity into narrow streams of movement, that can be monitored totally, easily within program applications. like UBER taxi for example.
Uber kills the regular taxi industry and brings all paid for, vehicular movement under control. UBER taxi is totally controlled. Call an UBER and the call is monitored, the payments, locations from point A to B. the UBER driver is totally controlled, his income cannot be hidden..every single movement for every shift he drives is totally controlled, totally known and can be brought or called up at any time
all the apps or programs for every activity are the same...they altogether, collectively homogenize human activity and bring all and every one under control and into narrow streams of social movement..including language. and so all can be and are totally monitored and controlled by the state. all diversity can end.
all of that is why I fight back in so many ways. no reduction of human focus only expansion, more diversity, more mental activity not less... in a social reality in which there are so many possibilities for expansion with technological advance, it boggles the mind. yet the same technology is being used to reduce human expansion, and humanity sits back and agrees with its own enslavement. and a man like me is under constant attack for looking after best human interest.
that is an insanity of life as I see it..people co-opted to live and act against their own best individual and collective interest, in and for the benefit of a minority in society, who own and control everything... and who are planning and effecting plans to make sure that they own and control everything in perpetuity

I lose nothing. I cant figure you out. I stopped trying. it does not appear to be worth the effort.
choops. is this an english class ::confused:: we talking here among ourselves with a supposed common interest from the same region, same concern, same people, same social class etc. but its like I am the enemy and all man up on me.
