Brainspore commented on Bing, Bong, the Bush is Gone / 1-20-09: END OF AN ERROR.
why? Why use shorthand? State your thesis and defend it. Ideally that's what people do. And then they come up with a word that sums up that thesis so they don't have to spend 45 minutes explaining which side of an issue they're on every time someone asks. It's an inevitable part of human nature that we try to put things into categories and to create abbreviations in order to communicate ideas more efficiently. In fact all language is made up of symbols that represent more complex ideas. The important thing isn't that we don't have shorthand, it's that we...

It takes longer but better a single minor point be actually discussed by two engaged minds than people imagine they are making progress without understanding the words they use. I'm all for talk first. As some drunken old limey bastard said: "Better jaw, jaw,...
