T-Rex: I have been thinking about what the Utahraptor said yesterday, and by extension the ambiguity allowable in language!
T-Rex: Take the Bible, for instance!
T-Rex: There's a text passed down for hundreds of generations, translated, re-written, re-edited.
T-Rex: Even if you don’t assume that it’s the Word of God, the difference in meaning between what was written THEN and what you read NOW must be staggering!
T-Rex: It's often said that the only way to be immortal is through your words and ideas!
Utahraptor: I agree!
T-Rex: But the Bible shows us that language is mutable! So what's the solution? How can I ensure that the ideas I have in my head when I communicate are the same as those you get in yours when you hear me?
Utahraptor: I propose a rigorously defined language without syntactic or lexical ambiguity!
T-Rex: But how would we write puns in such a language?
T-Rex: Eh?
T-Rex: Or delightfully sexy double entendres?
