A language where words are easily confused can be confusing. Finnish, however, is perfectly easy to understand:

palaa = something returns; something burns; many pieces
kuusi = spruce tree; the number six; your moon

One might say "kuusi palaa" when one wants six pieces of sugar in one's tea, the spruce tree is on fire; or to tell someone their moon will come back. These are not situations that are easily confused with other.

all colors i will never see
all the things i will never know or understand
all that is beyond my perception

choosing to walk foreign ground

Just learned about the term #vuca -> #volatile #uncertain #complex and #ambiguous -> definitely the right term for the times we are living in.

Here's #Catholic #World's #Review of John #Steinbeck's last #Novel:
The #Winter of Our #Discontent (1961):

It is #Regrettable that the #Author... invested the #Book w/ #MumboJumbo & #HocusPocus involving a #Talisman, a #Female #Witch, & #Ambiguous #Religious #Significance that results in a #Contrived, #Pretentious #Story...
-
The #Title is from #Shakespeare's #RichardIII:

"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made #Glorious #Summer by this sun [or son] of #York."

Closeup of Steinbeck's book cover for The Winter of Our Discontent. The cover shows a blue sky over Sag Harbor. 
The Winter of Our Discontent is John Steinbeck's last novel and the title is taken from the first two lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun [or son] of York". 
This is Steinbeck's only book set on the East Coast in Sag Harbor, New York.

How does #openAI deal with the Snark?

※ "Eight members" is wrong. Two important members are missing: The #Baker and the #Butcher.
※ "Boots" might be a portmanteau for "Bonnets and Hoods". Lines 9 and 10 of #TheHuntingOfTheSnark are #ambiguous. There are nine or ten members.
(See also snrk.de/page_boots-bonnetmaker.)

#ArtificialIntelligence, #Banker, #Barrister, #Beaver, #Bellman, #BilliardMarker, #Boots =?= #MakerOfBonnetsAndHoods (#BonnetMaker), #Broker

(From beta.openai.com/docs/quickstar)

Q: In"The Hunting of the Snark", how many members does the hunting party consist of?
A: The hunting party consists of eight members: a Bellman, a Boots, a Bonnet-maker, a Broker, a Banker, a Barrister, a Billiard-marker, and a Beaver.
(Comment: That's wrong. The most important members are missing: The Baker and the Butcher.)

Q: Is the "Boots" the "maker of Bonnets and Hoods"?
A: No, Boots is not the maker of Bonnets and Hoods.
(Comment: Sure? "Boots" might be a portmanteau for "Bonnets and Hoods".)

Just watched CURE by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and wow, was that an atmospheric & dark gem of a film, filled with tension and dread. I love #ambiguous #movies where I can spend time after watching just reveling in all the possible truths and meanings. Who's seen it?

@meeee
I use "free as in freedom" too. This is yet another way English shows to be an intrinsically #ambiguous language. Let's keep using Latin derived word "software libero/libre/livre" even when speaking English in order to avoid any ambiguity

#English is an #ambiguous #language.

If you doubt, try to explain what do I mean if I write "Lead is lead."
