@freemo A little birdie once told me that there are some tribes in either South America or Africa that don't have separate words Pink or Orange, indeed having the same word for either. The article I read was about the power of language in "programming" how one perceives reality, and this case was an example: since this tribe uses the same word to cover "both colors", to them they see the same color! There's also the case in that most Indo-European languages there are separations between an event, the cause of an event, and the perceiver of the event: in other words, strict separations of nouns and verbs. Whereas Chinese have many statements that pull "double-duty" as both nouns and verbs. Therefore, the Chinese mind can perceive a thing and an event (a noun and a verb) as the same "happening", which to many Western minds is an incomprehensible, alien concept! The ability of language to "alter reality" by using it to paint one word on a thing or event instead of another (one example: asking someone how they feel about the actions of "peaceful protesters" instead of saying "rioters", "anarchists", or "domestic terrorists" could give that person a positive perception of a given group and what they're doing instead of negative like the latter three would) could explain why so many believed in magic spells for thousands of years. @2ck @admin @aetios
