RE: Introducing myself to Steemit

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Greetings from the twilight zone. I am fairly new myself. I question everything. I love using the Socratic method, which in turn makes me appear to others like an asshole and most of the time I do not care what others think of me. I tell the truth and will challenge your strongest beliefs.

Most people seem to rely on dictionaries for the definitions of words – however it is a fact that the information set forth in dictionaries does not in any way constitute the definitions thereof but merely sets forth the common understanding of words as the words are commonly used – this is what we understand to be correct “diction”. Put another way, the explanations of words set forth in dictionaries are erroneously referred to as “definitions” , when actually, all a dictionary does is set forth the ever changing commonly understood meaning of words – a dictionary does NOT set forth definitions of words – word definitions can only be found in statutes or other legal writings where the meaning of certain words are specifically set forth and “defined” as such words are used in such statutes or other legal writings wherein such definitions are set forth. I would never allow any dictionary and certainly not a so-called legal dictionary, to be used to establish the definition or understanding of a word!! Instead I go to how the word in question was used and understood and applied in the real life “diction” of the common people of the day.

So if you want some thing to read that you have never before read, then give me a follow as I teach truth.

Looking forward to any future endeavors.
