As usual you start a post with an insult and a lie. You end it with an insult and a lie. And in the middle you pretend to be part of the conversation by introducing an irrelevancy, a red herring, and a straw man to mangle the conversation before the thread. Let me ignore the ad hominems. They are your calling card but nobody else is interested in them and apparently others can see them as well as can I when they care to. "how hard could it be to randomly generate a Shakespearian sonnet after all, there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet?" What does that have to do with the article? Just a brief comment on your straw man. The Rotokas alphabet has 12 letters. The first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet meant 'ox' and 'house'. The first language had approximately one word--something like a snort. But language (communication) DOES develop in nature. And it starts with the relative silence of an invisible bacterium. Now can the rest of us get back on topic? Sorry I asked...
