It'd be a social dance that you play everytime you say "heatdeath", meaning "something I have named". Hmmmm okay I take it back, that's a pretty good way to associate meaning to context in a way that only you understand. Though it does leave room for interpretation, so if that's all within your requirements then it's overall possibly a good strategy. ^_^ like, the word "thing" and that thing "like" both count as abstractions of definition to generate value - as in, ease of use and versatility - so linguistically they're often quite similar. We use them grammatically in completely separate sections, but functionally they are the same. also, "thing" is a generic noun while "like" is a generic association. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ --- #33 messages/330 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────── The purpose of life is to read, and to find the answer in the words of your fellow man.
