BLAME Previously, I (as personal authority) have guiltily acted in a submissive fashion towards you: overriding your (as reinforcer) lenient treatment of me.

I think you're talking about all abstract nouns. Time. Space. Honour. Justice. Truth. Realism Beauty. Science. Art. You're talking IOW about a dimension of language almost as fundamental as adverbs. It's worth pursuing the illusions created by the verbal abstractions of language and the ways we use them - but it's a huge task. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
