poetry in motion
either it was V(for vendetta), or d from that one episode of samurai champloo (where we found out that mugen couldn't read) but someone said..um... something.. about the importance of words and thier spellings...?
the exact words arn't coming to me, however the message they ment to get across is in my head!
but anyway.. lately i've been subscribing to dictionary.com's "word of the day" to expand my vocabulary and cure brain flab, but more often than not the word they will give you is an extravagant word that i wonder about sometimes if it's even english,
along with the definition of the word, you get it used in proper context in a sentence, and the, historical root of the word
for example todays's word of the day was salmagundi, salmagundi?! who uses that word!? what makes it worse, that it's historcal root is salmagundis (it's origionaly a french word)
anyway, i've come up with a new philosophy regarding languages, (or maybe just english) and that is, all words no matter what language it is, can be used in proper context in an english conversation, like if you are speaking english but you use the word gato, for cat, it would be passible, the true differance between languages is sentance structure!!!
in other words, each word from any other language, is the synonym of it's english counterpart, but no mattrer what word you decide to use remember to use it into proper context!
it brings me apon a memory i have from my youth in which my little brothers Nate and Nelly were engaging in a fight in which nate was winning, and in his attempt to surrender nel repeated the word grazias (which i think is spanish for "thank you") if he had been chocked by a real spanard, the guy would have been tricked into thinking that my little brother actully enjoied being chocked! maybe what he should have used is "paré".. maybe, it means "i stopped"
by the way, just in case you were wondering, salmagundi is a confusing mixture.. to say the least
