Language Altercations
Let's hear it for the power of words, folks. Let's raise a toast for the beauty and richness of language. Let's join in the celebration of the greatest creation of mankind. Drink and rejoice for to be able to express ourselves has proven to be our ultimate achievement.
Why celebrate, you ask?
If there are 100 billion neurons at work in our brains and each can connect with another to form a new center of convergence, how many different frames of mind can one have? Letting oneself immerse his being into to the pure force of words, letting the sounds, as they are pronounced, seep through the ears and attach themselves to the brain immediately, produces immediate effect. As the words make their way into the being of the listener (because the being is that - this part of us that makes understanding occur, the center where thoughts, experiences and memories converge to form pure hubs of meaning where words become enforcers of moods and concepts, become teachers of feelings, become creators of yet newer centers, become powerful landowners and war lords, special agents, spatial conquerors) they capture the attention, produce reactions and generate realities. To anyone whose been asking himself what language is – here is the answer - language is words encoded with meaning and carried by sound. How’s that for a miracle??? A sound manufactures an image that connects with cell that fires an impulse that produces a reaction that results in an action.
But if you aren’t converts, judge for yourselves. Here are a couple of examples from The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen:
‘…taking his pleasure with the chaise his endorphins had gone home to the four corners of his brain like war-weary troops…”
‘…Feeling a bit e-weary, fighting an e-headache, he ran a word search for earl eberle…’
‘…person carrying a newly scored drug that she believed would change her head; how universal the craving to escape the givens of the self. No exertion more strenuous than raising hand to mouth, no act more violent than swallowing…’

'...Noun adjective," his mother said, "contraction possessive noun. Conjunction conjunction stressed pronoun counterfactual verb pronoun I'd just gobble that up and temporal adverb pronoun conditional auxiliary infinitive-" Peculiar how unconstrained he felt...'

Дорогу одолеет идущий. Желаю вам ни когда не останавливаться и обретаться творческой личностью – всегда!

Однако для самом деле вопрос не лишь в печени. По сути выходит, сколько при таком подходе к договорам во-первых, соглашаться соперничество не "который умнее" и даже не "кто хитрее", а "кто может больше пить", то снедать - который сильнее болен алкоголизмом. Следовательно - у кого сильнее поврежден интеллект (ведь так получается?) И побеждает в итоге "настоящий тупой", именно он и становится тем лицом, у которого оказываются основные козыри, а то и тем, который всегда в совместной работе будет фиксировать - потому, который остальные партнеры на переговорах отключились раньше.
