Syntax-error: how language is being used to harvest people of billions of dollars, every day. Part 1.

For the language of this writ is with the syntax of an adverb-verb/adjective-pronoun-structure with the volition and comprehension of the reader´s with this contribution by this author.

"An English speaking person thinks in English. A Norwegian speaking person thinks in Norwegian. A Thai speaking person thinks in Thai-language. In order to think, we are at the mercy of a language. Thinking is the tool we use to convey thoughts to ourself, and to other people. We talk to ourself when we think. We have an inner dialogue, and we can talk, or write down our thoughts, in order to make our thoughts available to others. In order for other people to comprehend what we are trying to communicate to them, we need to use a language that the other person(a) is able to comprehend. After all: Mis-communication is the main reason why people dont get along in this world".

"No country has ever gone to war over a math-problem"- :David-Wynn: Miller. Maths have one common denominator: Facts. Maths are universal languages we use to solve problem, in order to come to some conclusion. In arithmetic we use an alphabet of numerical values, and we use functions to calculate the solution to a problem by the use of numbers, in order to end up with consensus, by the use of values and functions that we all are using daily. Without consensus, we cannot communicate correctly. Example: An English speaking person will use the noun 'one'. A Norwegian would use the noun 'én”' and a Thai-person would use the noun “nūng”. They all sound differntly, but would all be thinking about the same numerical value. This deviation in the conveyance of thought has become more and more apparent as the people of this planet have unified through the advances in technology. Only a hundred years ago, very few people would even have had the chance to as much as to hear another language. What were their chances of learning another language? Forget about it! In order for people who speak different languages to comprehend each other, consensus had to be made on the rules of communication as to what a noun is, what an adverb is, what a verb is, etc. We call these rules syntax, Parts of Speech etc. These are the rules of global communication, better known as 'pasigraphy'. We find these rules in what is called styles manuals. Without this consensus, people of different nations do not have a chance in hell to be able to communicate with eachother correctly.

Correct communication is vital in commerce. Commerce is the exchange, or trade, of value between persona, whether it is words, data, or goods and services, They all represent a value in one form or another. In order to master a skill, we have to comprehend the grammar of the subject we set upon. Grammar, in its classical sense, is the foundation, or basics, of any subject or skill. The grammar of car-mechanics is knowing what tools are used, what all the parts of a car are. The logic of car mechanics would be to comprehend how the tools are used, and how all the parts work, how they fit in the car, and how it all fits together, so that the car is in perfect condition. The rhetoric of car mechanics would be the skills to make your own car. The word grammar in classical greek education(trivium) is the precursor to logic. If your grammar is faulty, your logic will be faulty and subsequently your rhetoric will be faulty. The japanese equivalent of the same concept would be: shu(守)->ha(破)->ri(離).

In order to comprehend the language that we use to think and converse, we must comprehend it´s grammar. This can be a complicated task, as the syntax(how words are set together) and parsing of words(how words are set together by morphemes)are never studied by the layman. We learn to speak our mother´s tongue from the day we are born into this world. We study our mother language in school, but very few pays much attention to the basics. What I am writing here might make sense to you, but by looking at my sentences from a grammatical point of view, they make no sense at all. We communicate in a language based on fiction. In school we are thought use colourful language, what is called prescriptive linguistics. We are introduced to the parts of speech and their function in theory, but we never learn how to apply the rules of communication to our sentence-structure, based on what we are thought. Teachers in elementary school don´t have this knowledge, so how do we expect to learn how to communicate? If we can not master the language we use to think in everyday life, how do we expect to come to correct conclusions? If we cant control our thoughts, based on the language we use to think; what does that tell us about our judgement? Whatever educational path we endeavour is ultimately based on our ability to think correctly. Your position in a work-environment is based on your knowledge that you absorbed in university. Your university-degree is based on your knowledge from high-school. High-school-'education' is based on secondary-school, and secondary-school is based on your elementary-school-'education'. If your thinking is based on fallacy from the beginning: how can you ever come to the correct conclusion? 0x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1=0. Crap in=crap out. This is simple arithmetry(note: arithmetic, is an adjective. Why use it as a noun?)!

Nouns(nomen) are labels we place on things and ideas. Compare, if you will, that your mind is the computer that controls your facts and functions. In order to make use of it in an intellectual or practical manner, it needs to be programmed to work according to its potential, in order to process your thoughts(data) correctly, so you can come to the correct conclusion(termination). A programmer can easily see the result of his mistakes in his code´s syntax, based on the program´s performance. Try typing the password of your email-account with the caps-lock on, and see if you succeed! Many of you who read this will argue violently that I am wrong in my logic, but again, how can you claim to be correct when your brain is programmed with an adverb-verb/adjective-pronoun-syntax? This, and the following articles will serve to prove that the argument is based on mathematical evidence, not my personal opinion.

Whatever words we concur on using in order to think, read and write, we all speak a language called bable(babel). Whatever our view on the bible is, i think its safe to conclude that it is based on writing that is thousands of years old. According to scholars, the story known as 'the tower of babel' has its origin from the civilisation known as Babylon and date back as far as 8500 years, and no matter what, whether disputed or not, we all have to agree that it is not a modern construct.

“Genesis 11:1-9, New International Version.
The Tower of Babel
11:1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other. ”8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”

Whether the tower in this story is of a physical nature or a conceptual construct is up to the interpreter ,as the bible has been (mis)interpreted and manipulated through many different languages throughout the ages, based on the translator´s judgement, as there are many versions of the bible. SOme take it as 'God´s word', while other categorize it with a Donald Duck 'pocket'. Can we claim that one is “more” correct than the other? What we might agree on is that there is `something´ to the story, and that it was written a long time ago. In other words: the corruption of language(thinking) is not a recent construct...to be continued."
