Language

"Those who cannot comprehend language, can not comprehend the weakness of their ignorance." David L Nightingale 2012

Look how blankly they stare, as intelligent words are lost on the air. For they do not know of that which is spoke, so blindly they will follow some devious bloke!

And they do in their droves, as experts speak words which sound so clever. These experts have terms, expressions, languages specific to their profession. It may well be that most of these words are shorthand for what would otherwise lead to a multitude of varying descriptions which could be missconstrude. So it is not the language that is the problem, it is like most things, how it is used, often as a cloak.

Organised, think about all the "Organised" religions, why are they organised, why do we organise things? Is it because we want to control these things? So who wants to control those who follow "organised" religion? When you join an organisation, are you not consenting to be organised/controlled by them?

Manipulated, think about why you are told things?

Occult, hidden

Pharma, oh yea go down to the witchcraft for your poison potions!!!

Language is an amazing thing, you can read different translations of the bible and get totally different meanings from the same texts just because the words are different. Meanings can become lost, skewed, altered or seem irrelevant because we do not understand the text as it was written. A lack of words can limit our ability to describe things accurately. A classic is that the Eskimos have many words for snow, yet the reality seems to be that it is the Sami that have many words for snow.

When you go abroad and realize the effects of knowing little of the language, simple conversation can become a challenge, conveying even the most basic ideas can become confused. This is when you realize just how important words are, how the lack of them can stop you doing things or others doing things for you. Now we can grasp just how critical the control of language is, how education is controlled can control us. If we think with words then our thoughts can be shaped by the words we have available, just as our actions can be restricted by words.

It is a classic that many British do not speak any other languages, in reality they do speak many other languages, it is just that these are all muddled into one!

The Latin V or Why I don't agree with with the consensus that it would be pronounced as a W.

Afon, Welsh for river. Avon which sounds the same, is the name of a river not that far from Wales in the west country. So we have a river called river!! Then we have place names such as Grimstone, is this a horrible stone? Broadstone, is this a wide stone? Now remember the Normans who came from Normandy, which sounds like Normande. Look at lots of other place names, we find many ending in ton. Imagine you are struggling to pronounce Old English correctly, you have invaded a foreign land. So Grims ton, or the enclosure of Grims, and Broads ton, the enclosure of Broads. In the name Aethelstan, Stan means stone, in German Stein is stone. The West Saxon place names were just descriptions of the place. Other miss pronunciations are more recent where a place ending in ton, has been changed to town, maybe ignorance of the meaning of ton. A W has been added the sound oe, it would not make sense if it were said Tovn, W in Germanic languages sounds like V. Think of volks wagon, which sounds like folks vagon. Think on how Crewkerne is actually pronounced as Krkern, so are we getting added letters as academics schooled in Latin, and Normans schooled in French have sought to document places, and other words. Think how many foreigners will pronounce victim as wiktim, yet in their own language the V would sound like F and W like V.

One of the first places the Romans conquered was Gaul, so the favourite Roman tipple of vinum was on the move. In modern France we have Vin, in Italian Vino, in Spanish Vino, in Portugese Vinho, in German Wein, where the W sounds more like a V. Imagine making a passionate speech saying Vote for Me, now try saying Wote for Me, does it have the same power? Does it fit that many European countries use the V sound for wine, and that Germanic W sounds like V. Try saying Wox, hey I guess the Chinese might have been in Ancient Rome making stir fries? But doesn't Vox sound more realistic. Veni, Vidi, Vici. In Old Norse, wine was Vin, and V was pronounced V. Imagine you are a great leader of men and Orator of note, try making an impact with Veni, Vidi, Vici, now try Weeni Widi, Wiki. Hey it may be academically wrong but V as V has much more power and fits with the current use of V in European languages which use V and the way W in Germanic languages is pronounced as a V. Wine has been consumed in Europe for thousands of years, does it not make sense that the V sound will stay pretty much the same and that when borrowed Germanic languages will use nearest sound, W. Old English was very close to the old Germanic languages. Modern English has changed because those in power after 1066 were foreigners, even up to more recent times the top people were either non native or had been schooled abroad, sometimes because top people had returned from exile after regime changes.
