But really dude, you talk as if you were stoned all the time. The whole time I spent writing this reply I was thinking about whether or not it was worth it, but I decided it will be worth it for entertainment at the least.
It takes one to know one, but I am not and was not stoned...Maybe you need to read more books, as that has been the vast majority of my education, and then you might talk like you are stoned too...Math and language have a lot in common...I would say the difference is this...Math is good for physical reality because it can say what is with some exactness...Two and two is four is an example...The verb to be is essential to the conjugation of many verbs... I am going to get stoned, for example, when and if I feel like it... But what math does not say directly language does to a point... We say I am such and such an age, but the French say I have such an age...The verb to be would be essential to math, and in language, to have, and to be are both essential, and if you think about life you see that what we are, and what we have are essential to our well be-ing... What do you think

I wonder, for instance, what does it even mean to say that "What I meant by saying the logic of language is not that language has any bearing on logic, but that language has its own idea of logic, that the structure in a language is that logic, and that is needed to communicate." :surrender:
A lot of people use language to confuse themselves...Look at the whole republican party for example...
