You're well aware of Ferrari's, yes? Well, I'm giving you the concept that makes the Ferrari what it is. The Ferrari being the contemporary books you read, the art you see, etc. I'm explaining the basic contemporary concepts they use in their art that you see everyday.

Essentially, culture.

[worm]

I would know one if I saw one, yes. I could describe a Ferrari adequately well by referring to certain characteristics, using the words which are normatively used to define those characteristics...

Shouldn't we be talking about doinking?!

[Kowalski]

Anyway, that Scotland singles meet...?

[Radar]

All superficial.

You could tell me about many art projects and books you've read I'm sure. And you'd be right. But you wouldn't understand the concept that inspired them all.

No. I'm showing you the concept. The Ferrari is a metaphor for the books you read and the art you see, which is a result of the concept's I'm disclosing.

[sifi]

No, because it wouldn't signify a sweet smelling rose.

It would to me, if it was for example, una rosa profumi dolce.

[sifi]

That signifies words, not experiences.

But "A sweet smelling rose" in my head could be "una rosa dolce". If you said either, I would shut my eyes and remember the deeply satisfying smell of a couple of american beauties I once had round the back of my shed.

[sifi]

So words conduct your thoughts. In fact, are your thoughts.

[Katster]

I think they more express my thoughts. I think the object and then give it a tag, depending on what language I'm in. I think I do anyhow. It happens awfully quickly.

Ever said in your head what someone is saying out loud, as they are saying it?

No, I've just not got an axe to grind against him and spend my life trying to pick apart things he's posted. I've had blazing rows with him in the past.

Thing is some people can let things go - I have rows with certain people on here and then it's forgotten about. With any luck I've learned something new, or come to respect another's opinion. Some other users are spiteful and just can't get over things - and then spend ages on some kind of perverted revenge. I had actually put you in the previous camp. Maybe that needs re-evaluating, but without having seen the thread in question it's a bit hard to say.

I'm joking I'm joking. Who's been banned, the greeneyed monster??

[worm]

Worm - una rosa would signify (in my head) una rosa, which my head knows is the same thing as a rose. Unless it's being used as an objective in which case my head knows it's something pink. I don't translate it in my head to rose and then work out what a rose is. Does that make any sense?

[Iamthewalrus9]

My point is that the language (whether French, German, Binary or whatever) conducts your thoughts. Your thoughts are it.

[RABun]

Oh I don't know, quality over quantity, surely?

I'm joking I'm joking. Who's been banned, the greeneyed monster??

[Greeny_Musicchild]

not for wanting to go massively off track...but can someone sum up very quickly the chain of events that lead to greeney being banned? or point me in he direction of the thread the shits hit the fan in? just pure interest and boredom.

Well almost every qualified linguist disagrees with you.

[Iamthewalrus9]

No they don't. I don't for a start.
