and other times
i take semantics. which is oddly appropriate, given the subject matter.
i realized last week that i need to take one (1) more class in linguistics before i graduate. oops! i haven't taken any since... well besides the ones with my professor-love-of-my-life, about a year ago. any i realized how silly i was. because i love semantics ! i can be logical! meaning can have falsifiable theories that are accessible to the average kt. (being the only kt, i am the average as well as the extremes, oui?)
as far as i can tell, semantics seems to prefer using strange words for normal ones. ex: factive. this means factual. proffered. this means offered (sorta. mostly.)
also i love conversational implications! ex:
A: Mrs. X is an old hag.
B: Lovely weather we're having, isn't it?
are they related. yes! through conversational implicationssss. marvelous theory, actually.
okay, my rhapsody of the language is over.
over over & out
Now, when you say "because i love semantics!" you mean your dear old roommate-friend, no?
