Cool discussion. Gotta wonder also, what about the written forms of a language vs. the spoken language. Do some language forms, casual English vs. formal English, convey meaning more effectively when spoken vs. written? Why is it that we speak with friends in a more casual form of the language? Is is that spoken language is paired with gestures, facial expressions, and other forms of body language that make the more precise forms of the language unnecessary? Go figure?...(said with a furrowed brow and shrugged shoulders)
