Terms
It kills me when people create relative meaning to words and phrases when such words and phrases are not relative. Now I am not talking about relative terms, such as good or bad, hot or cold. That should be obvious. I hear this all the time: someone will improperly describe some thing and then attach ‘… at least it’s that way for me’, or ‘… that’s how I think of it, in my mind’. Are you hearing yourself? You are living in a land of make believe! Words (generally) have specific meanings. What enables people to communicate is a common definition for the words which we use. How else could we each know what the other is saying? I’ll write more about this later, but I just wanted to get this out there.
