RE: Musings on the Oxymoron of the "Only Choice"

in #philosophy7 years ago

This is so true with the English language. Words like "jumbo shrimp" or "almost always" are definitely oxymorons but we know what the context meaning is, so we don't think twice. It makes you wonder how many other things we "overlook". Our brain is so wired to use the least amount of work that it often skips over those details. Words are so powerful and it's nice to see someone breaking them down into the deeper meanings. Thanks for sharing :)

Yeah language is pretty neat to understand. Words are like magic :)
