---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What we need is either less corruption, or more chance to participate in it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rawat was surprised: > It is surprising to see such response from Anna, being a teacher. What > if your students keep on saying that can experience the answer but can > not express it in words?< Why not? If they say it in English, that may begin a nice conversation. And will make them practice, which they need. ; ) > Entire effort of linguistics had been to devise words to facilitate > communication, so that a word means same things to two or more persons > talking in same language.< True, to some extent. > They have given words not only for material things, but also for > abstract concepts like freedom. > > The words are there for every experience, ever emotion: loneliness, > belongingness, pain, hatred, and above all, love. < They are but labels.

How come you knew the proper gender ending for the surname? >after all he is from > Mars, you from Venus.< Do men also read such books? > (God knows what you both are doing on Earth.)< Experiencing the differences of our planets and trying to create some similarities out of them.
