The worst part is that humans unlrarned to decode the most important language as #sideeffect of #written / #spoken language:

I don't like that "our" todays language csn be so easily used for deceptive purposes.

And the success of transmission usually depends on two people not only "understanding" the same language, but "having a consensus" on certain words too..

I might just think of a different "car" or "cat" than you etc.

Language is fumbling to success
