Randall,
OK, well let's carry on from there.
Are you familiar with this project?

Something similar in xTalk would be pretty darn cool, I would think.
Especially if it were to index and search the web =).
See, we can have a fruitful discussion if we just stick to the subject.
Most words in a natural language are synonyms to other words (with
subtle variation of context or meaning). When words are grouped
with their synonym cousins, a dimensionallity frequently appears
that defines a range of general to specific. Sprint is a specific
form of run which is a specific form of locomotion which is a
specific form of motion which is more specific than the most general
word in this chain, move. Having access to an anthology that
associates words into these overlapping chains of specificity is a
fantastically rich resource for the automated derivation of meaning
(semantic processing). Creating such a beast, at the user level is
prohibitive to all but the most driven (insane) amongst us. Doing
it once at the tool level so that all can profit... That is a
reasonable goal.
