With the school year coming to a close, so is this blog. As a goodbye, I would like to recapitulate what this blog stood for.
This was a tribute to the power and versatility of language. Words after all, represent feelings and ideas that are felt by the speaker, and combinations of these words almost magically manage to convey volumes of information.
In fact, in speaking we convey even more information than we might like. For example when lying, many people tend to decrease the usage of the word "I", in trying to draw attention from themselves. Not that I'm calling all of you out there liars or anything, but an understanding of the more hidden meanings and connotations that language contains leads to better communication. Humans being inherently social creatures, communication is of course vital.
Hopefully after the past year I've managed to convince you of the power of language. After all, the pen is mightier than the sword.
Take Care,
Roman.
