The the thing that makes us greater than the sum of our parts is our ability to communicate; We feel pain when we read about the earthquake in Haiti because of how words communicate to us the horror felt by others. The words change us, spur is to take action.<p>Anything that undermines language's ability to unit humanity is to be frowned upon.<p>Yes, language changes.<p>In the Koreas, the word for "wife" in one country is the word for "slave" in the other country. And that is why the two Koreas will never be one. They are truly divided by a common language. Both countries encourage "proper" word use. One is less successful than the other. The country whose people are not starving is the one with more words. The one with more communicable concepts. The one that is less successful at censorship.<p>Fox "News" is dividing the US. They don't add new concepts, they undermine the old. They make us wonder if what we heard is what was meant. They leave us with fewer useful words. (Starting with the word "news.")<p>"Hugops" ...I had to Google it. But that was because it is an example of a new word, new concept, a "jargon" coming onto radar. It undermines nothing. (Good show, that man. #hugops)<p>No hugs for Fox "News".
Can't we have hugops for Fox News? I mean a day ago, something else went down didn't it? [0]<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28159078" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28159078</a>
