Until we agree upon the meanings, Words have little value. They are just noises, Fuss and nonsense.
The Key to Communications
About Nove-Noga:
Communications are not possible until we come
to an understanding on the meanings of the words that we use. Take
a short and seemingly simple word like "Free." At many sites, free
has become a button word used to get you to click on something.
Sure, it could be considered a free presentation or video right up to
the point where you push the buy button. To me, that is not free. That
is an advertisement or presentation or promotional offer. Free should
mean FREE! For a good example, go to the bottom of the home
page and click on the *Free GIMP button. That will take you to the
GIMP website where you download GIMP for free.
