It is never fully clear to me in conversing with Paul whether he means for children to *write* or for children to reap the benefits of what can be accomplished by adults that can.
Or what particular words we are defining (or redefining) in what way. I see so much of the story, the conflicts, the misunderstanding, the hype, the ambition, the ego in the story of how words are being used, misused and in particular the use of ambiguity in words, with intention and to ends.. And I also happen to attach the fact that I am a word guy to the fact that I am a Python guy.
