The tragedy of language is that it is not well defined. It
leaves lot of holes in understanding. It
has lot of conclusions. It can be used
safely for deception. You may think you
understand it fully but you are not. One
word can be having many meanings or usage. Take the word “grate” it can be
great fire, grate view, great character, grate man, great people, great danger,
great number, and so forth and so on. Some words can be ambiguous and can be
used as such for deliberate confusion.
Words should pass tests for unique understanding and being
fully described. Sentences should pass logical tests. So the task is to define new words that are
more sharply defined and used as such.
On the other hand words can be structured more
mathematically whatever this means. We are then creating a problem for the common
man or of low education or of little resources how to use them.
