words, words, words..
Polonius: What do you read, my lord?
Hamlet: Words, words, words.
Hamlet's answer suggests that the words which he reads are meaningless, yet he then with his own words, dances around Polonius' interogation, mocking him and insulting him while pretending to be mad..
the power of words. they can crush your heart, or make it soar. make you angry, aroused, uncomfortable, or laugh in hysterics. what a marvelous thing to put thought, emotion, playfulness or jokes into a means of communication through words. like music or art - but with less room for different interpretations.. the whole point is the degree of precision or ambiguity of expression..

semantics, as it is- the study or science of meaning in language. isnt it interesting how people get killed over words, mere words...be careful..
And so I plug my book - "7 Types of Ambiguity" by Elliot Perlman. Will anyone conquer this 600 page novel but me?
