sunday morning wtd*
Why is it so difficult to talk simply?
When kids were younger I used to remind them constantly that 'language is used to communicate effectively.'
Yes, I have been told that while there are over sixty words in the Inuit language to describe 'snow' there is none in Arabic.
And here we have young folks abusing the act of procreation. They use duck in places where they mean yes, no, maybe. They use it for pause, extension, exclamation. Perhaps for everything under the sun save procreation.
The abuse of the act as depicted by this word is one thing: its inordinate usage indicates a paucity of clarity. A perverse abdication of the gift of thinking, evocation and articulation.
Show me a frequent user and I will show you a person who uses god's gift of a mind infrequently: almost an abuse of the covenant with life.
And this is neither sermonizing nor moralizing.
*the 'd' stands duck
