he said, but he said

the game of symantics
the war of the words
participants battling
wielding their swords

the problem with english
too much means the same
with neither man wrong
it's our language to blame

Interesting subject.if you study Merleau Ponty you quickly see that words modify other words, . A word alone beings its use with a meaning, that meaning may change in context to a modified, but understood ,meaning, language is by default fluid, an argument over the use of a given word becomes an argument over understanding and application of it as a modifier . Many things then come into play such as intent, and cultural usage . I am amazed at the amount of certainty people feel about their interpretation of what is correct and what is not . I ask, do you understand me? yes or no ? now we are getting at something we can agree on. Yes, interesting subject you have here my friends.
