my engineering manuals

imo, you'd love it, especially if you've ever done programming and logic. Chomsky invented the field of linguistics having to do with compiler theory and building of computer languages.

You quickly discover you need exact definitions of meanings, there is no room for error, the language or computer program won't work. Just like fuzzy math doesn't work to balance the budget<vbg>, and fuzzy commands don't work in the battlefield...

Later on he began to analyze what passes for meaning in the english language as used by the media and gov't. Some of those analyses are required reading IMO before you say you disagree. And like I say, I think you'd be surprised.

dipwad, you should pick up your engineering manuals to figure out how to make a case. #reply-18413697

You cannot provide statistics and examples.

Only a retard engineer makes statements like that speaking out of his butt. That fartair, not sweet after all.

I understand, fear of more that a paragraph syndrome.
