I am the dictionary meaning of the word introvert. — © Aishwarya R. Dhanush
I am the dictionary meaning of the word introvert.
I never understood whether the word 'amnesty' is correct or not. Maybe I am not very intelligent but I checked the dictionary to find the meaning.
My favorite books are a constantly changing list, but one favorite has remained constant: the dictionary. Is the word I want to use spelled practice or practise? The dictionary knows. The dictionary also slows down my writing because it is such interesting reading that I am distracted.
And people get all fouled up because they want the world to have meaning as if it were words... As if you had a meaning, as if you were a mere word, as if you were something that could be looked up in a dictionary. You are meaning.
When I need to know the meaning of a word, I look it up in a dictionary.
Even if you look in the dictionary you know the meaning of the word or phrase, but there's still the feeling of it.
Your questions refer to words; so I have to talk about words. You say:;: The point isn't the word, but its meaning, and you think of the meaning as a thing of the same kind as the word, though also different from the word. Here the word, there the meaning.
If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? Why is 'phonics' not spelled the way it sounds? How come abbreviated is such a long word?
Either you are extrovert or introvert, and so I am an introvert in that sense. I'm not a social person that wants to go to parties.
I am not learning definitions as established in even the latest dictionaries. I am not a dictionary-maker. I am a person a dictionary-maker has to contend with. I am a living evidence in the development of language.
I bought a dictionary. First thing I did was, I looked up the word "dictionary", and it said "you're an asshole".
In my dictionary, and everyone's dictionary in the 1970s, the word 'queer' did mean strange and unusual. There was no slur to it.
Finding the meaning of life is easy. Simply get a dictionary, go to the 'L' section, and find the word 'life.'
Whenever we remember a series of events, we remember them different. We are constantly changing. It's a flaw, but on the other hand, when we say a word, the meaning is not what you put into it. Rather, the meaning of the word is all of the past usages of that word. Like this cloud that makes up the meaning of the word. It's your subject if you write. For instance what you put in that word and what you assume it means, even its flaw. It has a general agreement.
If I am hated at Barcelona, it is their problem but not mine. Fear is not a word in my football dictionary.
There is something like an explosion in the meaning of certain words: they have a greater value than their meaning in the dictionary.
For an interesting nonfiction read, I really enjoyed 'Quiet' by Susan Cain. I read it with my husband, who is a true introvert, whereas I am an introvert masquerading as an extrovert.
