Now, how could you possibly know that? *Especially in the case of myself who

My dear roger,

A writers words are extreamly revealing. To get a flavor of what is
possible I recomend starting with one of the most basic concepts
availible: Binjamin Worf and Ed Sapair's theory of linguistic
relitivity. An anthropologist and linguist teamed up in the 1930s to
study the Hopi indians. One descovery was:
Language Reflects Culture
Language Affects Culture
In other words we all live in a language that forms our view of the
world at a very fundamental level. The traditial textbook example is
the number of single words used by "Eskimo"to describe snow. Well over
113 singel words are used to describe snow while we are hard pressed
to list a ten. Assumption.... snow is a pretty important thing to
Northern lat natives and less to us. So we can say that language is a
window alowing us to understand a culture.
Next the flip side is also true. That is, if we are raised in a
language it will structure how we see/view the world. A simple example
of this is spanish compared to english. they have gendered words La
Messa El Torro, El Libro while we have few. Assumption....... for the
child raised in a heavily gendered language they will grow up seeing
the world (people) as genders who must comply to gender roles very
closly.... can you say MACHO.

The interesting thing assumtion with all this if we change the
language can we change a culture????????????

Hummm,
FIRE MAN = FIRE FIGHTER
POLICE MAN = POLICE OFFICER
FISHER MAN = ANGLER
Ya ever wonder why the us gov changed job titles????????? Just think
Worf - Sapier

NOw, what the **** does that have to do with us here?
Everything. every word you chose, and how you nit it together screams
who you are and what you belive. A simple count of referencing to
authorties and accomplishments or the simple number of times you make
a reference to your self... You have to remember that that the Worf
Sapier Hypothysis was develdoped in the 1930s a robust field of
Rhetorial Anlysis tools have develped since.
Be careful................. be very carful..........

That will be $200 please.
