On ''what there is''


The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

millecarbon, ''deed'' and ''did'' explain your problem . Ever heard
about ''brain drain'' from Europe to USA. Many Germans become
university professors in America. Lew told us to have had German professor who give them lessons about Kant. Then think of
Enstein, Goedel, Tarski , Carnap , etc,etc. Neither of them speak
English as ''first language'' nor with ''perfect grammar''. They
were obviously not invited to America because of their English.
What then for? I got not only ''did'' as correction of my ''deed''
but also remark : ''English is not your first language''. My answer
was that English is my 4th language. I have not seen reaction
of this member in this context. Well speaking about ''context'' .
There is the meaning of words to find. Not in isolation like ''did''
and ''deed''. The so called ''generative power of language'' is not
in grammar but in ''free combinations of morpheme'' by which
new words are ''composed'' with new meaning. You are only
demonstrating your lack of knowledge of which you are, uh,
not conscious . So, it seems, this ''entity'' consciousness does
''exist'' . Aka is ''there''. 
Not to be prosaic or anything, but languages constantly evolve. Differing dialects evolve among different groups of speakers. When enough changes happen and these various dialects become unintelligible to the other, the new dialects are now officially different languages. There's no right or wrong here. One language is not better or more pure than the other. Think of Latin. Think of Latin's descendants French and Italian. Think of Modern German and Modern English.
The evolution of language does not contradict the existence of these 2 levels but is a consequence of it .....

Rather than contribute… I think that he prefers to watch?
