(Click here to find out more...)     Is this a cyte four soar ayes... ore watt? Pardon the use of homophones in the line above it is a bit confusing, I know but as this site is all about homophones and homonyms, you'll understand why... I hope! Language is a fascinating topic. While it's not unique to the human species, our languages are probably the most structured and complex of all animals. With greater complexity however, comes also greater potential for confusion. Creativity is in there of course, somewhere, but I think that confusion is king. Am I being pessimistic? No, I don't think so... nor am I disheartened. My point is this: When communicating with each other, the probability for misunderstanding the other is greater than that for actual understanding, in the first instance. Simply reflecting upon your everyday conversation, with whomever, should provide ample illustration for you... My earliest recollection for this confusion is a joke I saw, many years ago. It went something like this: Two people are scrubbing a floor, using soap and brushes etc. One person stops, looks around and says: Where's the soap? The second, without pausing, responds: Yes, you're right! And, carries on working. The confusion here, of course, is the identical sound of wears and where's (a contraction of where is ). Now, if you think that's bad, the software I used to compose this essay and HTML is unable to identify the difference either! When I substitute Wears for Where's in the above joke, the software saw no grammatical or spelling errors! (But, the same goes for my opener, above: the software is unable to see anything wrong with that sentence... or the one at the bottom!) To be fair to the software however, it's not programmed, of course, to hone in on such grammatical gaffes... Which means that there's still hope for us, right? While the potential for confusion is still rampant, almost all of it can be, if not resolved, then at least accommodated by making sure that we all of us really listen to each other. Too many pay lip service to that idea, and are content to say instead: Read my lips! That's a problem! Now, if I were a New Yorker, I might be inclined to say: Fergeddabouda lips... lissen to da sound, OK!
