because it's completely unnatural, and it makes you feel like shit. you ever have that feeling where you write a word, and it looks completely wrong, like you've spelled it incorrectly, and you deliberate with yourself for minutes about its correct spelling? perhaps not, but - i just had that same feeling after reading your spelling of 'tablet'. i know it's certainly correct, but doesn't it seem odd? Tablet? Tablet. Tablet. An odd word, no? Tablet. |

awful yokes. used to live with a guy who was addicted to valium, terrible addiction, so it was... really ruined his life.. he's picking up the pieces as we speak, but yeah.. awful. better off without that shit. i'll sleep soundly tonight - i really just created this thread as an appreciation thread for billie holiday and all she did for us. but yes, you're right, words certainly are "weird". elusive, evasive in their meaning, difficult, forever ambiguous, perpetually misinterpretted... they're awful things... and yet so lovely. |

no, not at all. I don't know why you responded in such a way - i didn't detect ignorance of any kind from your posts. |

yeah, and the word gets weirder the more you repeat it. i find it pretty interesting... all we have is an arbitrary string of letters to represent our concept of 'tablet' (unfortunately i had no choice but to use that same string) when there's no natural relationship between the word and what's represented. by repeating it like that you separate the word from its usual association and see that it has no inherent meaning. does that make sense? or were you just syaying some words don't look like they're spelled properly? |

there's no natural relationship between the word and what's represented. by repeating it like that you separate the word from its usual association and see that it has no inherent meaning. exactly, yes it just looks entirely WEIRD, unusual, and unlike what you were used to . you know what it's SUPPOSED to represent, but you feel weird, you feel like there's something not quite right. it happened just there with me and 'tablet', that's why i kept repeating it there. it's odd, isn't it? sort of like your brain ceases to function for a second.... and then refuses to function if you feed it the same information (the same word) again. it's rather odd altogether. i find it really, really interesting, this feeling i get. it's the same feeling i get when my 'mind boggles', as in, when i imagine the idea that i really am here on this earth, or imagine the size of the universe, or so on./.. |

Ramachandran talked about this one guy that had his hand amputated or something and his brain graphed his hands location onto his face; like you could touch his face and he thinks you're touching his hand. |
