I guess this is as good a place as any to talk about language and experiments. I had an argument with a college professor a while back about language. I argued, as I do, though I had no real intention of changing the person's mind. I said that most people think, or at least formulate how they're going to express themselves in society, in language. So if you teach people that you can only write in a certain way, and enforce it in the way they talk too, you're in a way limiting the way this person thinks. The brain paths the neuroscientists talk about: If you want to make new paths you have to use language new-ly. But I'm glad they teach how to use language properly, there needs to be a base and some ground to work from. . . . I just didn't know why the person disagreed with me in general about that it's allowed, and happens anyway, that language changes, and changes in language change people. But I guess there needs to be firm people set in their ways too to hold society together.
