A competent language user.
your opinion. some language user may claim they understand what music is. the same claim was probably made whenever a music some don't understand came out.
i don't call fish paste music. but some may call music the sound of the boiling kettle whistle.
And so "music" , "intelligence",etc.,but probably most importantly our "language" is changing.
More interstingly still, it is changing exponentially. (The time between our thoughts and their subsequent manifestations is shortenning.)
(Keeping in mind that some psycologists( or whoever), say that something like 70% of our communication is through body language,(I assume she's not counting the internet..I dont know), and not all the rest of communication is verbal ,(telepathy?) ), I reckon that our language is so important because it literally,(albeit indirectly), manifests our( human) world.
Condider the word "human". What it means to be "human" is maybe among some of the biggest contentenders as regards to what a word actually means.
Any ideas as to where our language is headed? Will it become more unified or more sparodic ? (And with this line of enquiry, I find plenty questions a not many answers...you?)
