healinghorses,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- yes, language is such a cool evolutionary development in humans yet also so limiting sometimes

- and, it is amazing how words are misconstrued simlpy because one of the communicants does not know the definition of the word or maybe only knows the tertiary useage of the word

- for example, envy and jealosy - many people use them interchangeably but they really have rather different definitions and implications

- so if someone says they 'envy' someone something I read this as quite different from being 'jealous' in the same context

- much the same when someone uses the term "paranoid": as a lay term it may be quite different (and loosely used) from the DSM IV definition of "paranoid" I use when applying that term

- but, some terms, regardless of the context of useage, simply do not belong here at The Cafe.
