While this ridiculous article about whether a non-existent god requires a special language has been furiously debated, people in Egypt are dying by the thousands!

OUG,I'm not entirely sure why I got "short" with Peter, other than that I found his tone and the sense that some things are just too hard to explain to the plebs irritating. I have to learn not to react in that way. Of all my vices (and needless to say, they are many) that is the most difficult to control.
If a special language is required, then by all means we should use it, but only if you could explain it without using that special language. Far too much "knowledge" is pretence and not examined properly because nobody wants to admit they don't understand what it means. Semantics is not syntactics - in other words, meaning is separate from the form of the words and it is a two-way process to ensure the meaning is properly understood at both ends of the discourse. Sometimes meaning is altogether separate from the form, as in metaphor or allusion, or in the way you like to pull words apart. Posted by Antiseptic, Sunday, 18 August 2013 2:20:55 PM

Adam's ale for me.
Peter, you're quite right, I'm afraid my tendency when poked is to poke back. Mea culpa.
