@St_Rev grewn and yellack don't make sense as colors outside of the context of plants and bananas, respectively. -
@St_Rev Which makes them fundamentally unlike what we typically think of as colors. -
@GrumplessGrinch@St_Rev it's a flaw in our language that words assume their own steady states -
@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev And here I was thinking that was a feature. -
@GrumplessGrinch@St_Rev it's another dimension to be described that goes undescribed if you always specify it as 0 -
@GrumplessGrinch@St_Rev even just a shorthand binary notation next to words would add a lot of information -
@sarahdoingthing@GrumplessGrinch Korzybski used subscripts but it didn't catch on. Note that 'grue' really should be 'grue_t'. -
@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch words tend to be snapshots anyway - implication of motion or stillness (& patterns thereof) would add information - 10 more replies
