carrying on in terminology discussion.
I had a great love of phonetic pun when i was a child.
"what wobbles when it flies"?
a- A "jelly"copter.
the realisation that this joke could not be translated into welsh, patagonian, german or french
seriously unsettled me.
the fact that any poetry becomes simply prose when translated into another tongue.
the realisation that a multilingual person very talented in words could be snyde with choice of them and make puns for his cliques ears only or devastate the ludite without being witnessed as such.
the linguist able to have 2 or 3 conversations at once.
i considered the deaf, dumb semi mute .. who could only shake his head and go "woagghh" for NO and nod his head and say "Yeayyayh" for yes
and how the severely mentally retarded were more honest in their use of these two words than any fragmented linguist could ever be,
It is precisely this honesty of the non linguist.. his inability to usurp his own language with other intent that leads us to MEST.
MEST is a deeper language than even yes or no.
But then i hope that the talented linguist will not baulk at attempting pronounciation.
