Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at WSFA.org> I believe this was addressed by S.I. Hayakawa in "Language in Thought and Action" back in the '60s! http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/08/19/science.counting.reut/index.html And an interesting essay on the book itself: http://www.greeleynet.com/~cnotess/haya.htm Am I the only olde pharte hippie that remembers reading this stuff?
