Since we are all
“Conflictingly-Predicamently”
“stuck”
in a
“Bad Job”
with
the English language
and thereby with English’s
both
“natural shortcomings”
and
“amokly-‘civilised’-deliberate-deceptions-&-corruptions”
it surely behoves us, each and all –
and herewith in
our
“Self-&-Civilisation
Co-Sustain-Worthy-ing
Movement-Improvement”
movements
to
“Make the best of that Bad Job“
——-
And
one of the vital ways
for achieving this world-language’s
“English-as-a-Good-Job”
should now be the worldwide inclusion of English’s
Idioms, Proverbs , Sayings
and their ‘interpretations’ *
——————
CONSEQUENTLY
We
(within “Self-&-Civilisation Co-Sustain-Worthy-ing”)
probably should be
showing
the English language’s
Lifeplace-‘Vernaculars’
[Idioms, Proverbs …]
Especially since they can, and mostly do, contain
“life-constitutional” and “covenantal”
wisdoms and ‘common-senses’
Which
the > 5,000 years-old Accumulation of
Adversarially-Militant
Governmental-Establishments’ Constitutions
“Rules-of-Law”
and
“Cultural-Limitations”
tend to exclude –
often because
“There Isn’t Time To Include Such ‘Mere Anecdotals’ “
NEVERTHELESS
those ‘traditionally-longstanding-nonnegotiables’
also do depend upon
Foundations
a major-one of which is
Formally Logical Argumentation & Moral-Reasoning
such as
How To ‘Win’ Every Argument by Prof Madsen Pirie
Informal Logical Fallacies by Prof Jacob van Vleet

LET US ‘LIFEPLACE’ BEGIN NOW
WITH A FEW SUCH “IDIOMATICS”
from
RJ Clarke’s
Sayings and Their Meanings –
‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’
and
Manik Joshi’s
2500 English Proverbs and Sayings – ‘A Public Domain’.
And cumulatively continue from those and other sources.
🙂
“Tell the truth and shame the devil”
but
“What you do is more important than what you say”.
[to be continued, in every future post)
[*] NB please: “meanings” are ‘only’ “more-‘mere’-words”;
and only if a word is onomatopoeic can any
‘real-sense-from-the-external-action/thing-itself’
begin to be ‘gleaned’ (from ‘mere-words’).
