Language(s) are meta-programs that shape out thought processes and perceptions. Virtually all Magickal Systems are tools for re-programming, through word and deeds, your mind to open it up to new processes and perceptions. How our language (Canadian & American English) is changing is important to how we percieve the world. The big thing about the English language is that it is the first omniverous language...that is, it will take and use any word that it can get a hold of, and not just adopt it, but devour it and make it part of it's own. It is the first predatory language... Hows that for a concept...even better than "Language is a Virus..." I think. You can quote me on that... ttyl Farrell Moderator 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
