- W2915922015 abstract "Facts as we see them are little more than quick glimpses of a ceaseless transformation ... -- Wendell Johnson, 'People in Quandaries' Find more at http://glimpse.blogspot.com Symbols and their Meanings As a nation, we seem to have settled on the shorthand 9-11 to stand for the mind-numbing events in New York and Washington, DC, on September 11, 2001. Now that metaphor has generated a further metaphor (a metametaphor?): 9-10, as in life as it was before the world changed. According to an article by Monica Collins of the Downtown Journal, the phrase So 9-10 refers to words and deeds -- excessive, egotistic or otherwise unsavory -- that are unacceptable in today's new world order. We all understand that our lives were indelibly altered after the terrorist attacks. So 9-10 sets the boundaries. We carry around the images of death and destruction in our heads. The scalding pictures, the bad dreams, the persistent depression are the burdens many of us bear more than a month later as we attempt to get back to routines. But we see things very differently .... The social and political order exploded on Sept. 11. Afterward, we were advised to get back to normal. In the new normal, time has not stood still. To think otherwise is so 9-10. They Have a Word for It While visiting in Spain, Oregonian Dale Sloat entered a small store with the sign Snack Bar outside. Hoping to find out more about the various items in the display case, he pointed to one and asked, in his best tourist Spanish, is the name of that? The reply from behind the counter: Sandwich. Fact or Inference? This November 15 CNN web poll asked readers, Osama bin Laden still in The table below summarizes the results. Is Osama bin Laden still in Afghanistan? Yes 67% 200,216 votes 33% 97,159 votes Total: 297,375 votes This QuickVote is not scientific and reflects the opinions of only those Internet users who have chosen to participate. The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of Internet users in general, nor the public as a whole. The QuickVote sponsor is not responsible for content, functionality or the opinions expressed therein. I asked myself would those voting know the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden? In the fine print below the results, the poll organizers do acknowledge that these represent opinions and might not generalize to the real world. Perhaps they would better have asked Do you HOPE Osama bin Laden is still in At least then people might more readily see it as a measure of opinion (and very likely an intensional evaluation and thus possibly groundless) versus some kind of estimate of knowledge or intelligence. What prompts a person to respond to such a poll? What does such a communication hope to convey? Especially, what does it convey to readers who do NOT respond? Quotes Language is not neutral. It is not merely a vehicle which carries ideas. It is itself a shaper of ideas. Dale Spender, writer (1943-) The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best -- and therefore never scrutinize or question. How We Use (and Grow) Language We know how readily our language acquires new words and new meanings for old words. Ken Ringle of the Washington Post has enumerated a fresh batch of coinages spawned by the current war in which we find ourselves. Among these we find ramped up, locked down, weaponized, aerosolized, nasal swabbed, laser-painted and finely milled. In the article, Ringle quotes Allan Metcalf, executive secretary of the American Dialect Society concerning this phenomenon: No term has yet been coined to convey even the scope of what happened on Sept. 11, much less the horror. So, in effect, we're all talking about this one subject, but it's a subject for which we have no name. …" @default.
