Posted by Kazper at 1:41pm Jul 13 '08Law of attraction states, basically, that what you think and feel you attract to yourself. If it's true you might as well think you're a god- because you just might make it true!
If the definition of a word is not represented in the form of the word then the definition of the word can change without the word becoming arbitrary (it already is by design) and misleading.
Just because you've outtalked one doesn't mean you've outtruthed one.
I have to remember the joy it brings me having the ability to do pretty much anything in my own language. I can create this or that and then if necessary take it back.
Can't live with people. Can't live without people. Can't live.
A proverb is an aphorism but an aphorism isn't necessarily a proverb. (Proverb has the additional meaning that it's in widespread use by a culture and has been for awhile but it's still a pithy saying.)
Semantics tells you which words to use. Syntax tells you where to put 'em. (What I think something really means... gives me the words. Semantics should also tell me which ambiguity solvers to use because if there's ambiguity the meaning I want to get across may not get across. I don't think that semantics and syntax are that seperate though. You're kinda aware of both at the same time...) (I use the word grammar as a general word so if something is not grammatically correct it means that it could be semantically incorrect or... syntactically incorrect.)
