Language

There is no shortage of information about how language has developed, and how humans have refined and changed it over time. It is undoubtedly a complex and fascinating subject. Considering the complexity of language, it’s a marvel that society gets on as well as it does. With ongoing foibles of course – particularly in the current age of (un)social media.

Definition and interpretation of words is an ongoing challenge, particularly in knowledge work. Having a common understanding goes a long way to making progress, perhaps without realising why. On the other hand, differing interpretations of a word can cause undefined difficulties.
