does it? I find creative/irregular/non-standard/colloquial use of languages can be very enlightening, and not just verbal human languages, but programming languages, visual communications, etc. a lot of people just regurgitate what they've heard, but some people are creators, and come up with very interesting language manipulations for pleasure, and I really appreciate this type of creativity, even if I woudln't choose to express myself in the same way. of course context is very important, theres a time and a place for certain language, because of beliefs similar to the one above. > Yes, it is all about communication but there are varying levels of > communication.
