I took from the language what I could understand to be understood. Theologically man is flawed and so is his disciplines he created which include language. I can understand one word or find a synonymic word.I can expand that word or use it singularly.
Any word can be misinterpreted by the reader. Without the operands of math the method cannot be completed.As it is in words, structuring the words to be understood is the battle.Language is no better than the writers knowledge or vice versa. Thoughts please. pljames

I owe this forum a apology. I still believe theologically man is flawed. But the disciplines are not. Like philosophy mathematics and language. These disciplines cannot make a mistake...but man can. History has proven this without a doubt.
Not saying that there is no hope for man to be more human and surpass humanity's faults like hate war theft murder incest and the like. These discipline do show there is hope for man fallen nature...again theologically. pljames

Man makes these disciplines.
Therefore they have shortcomings,
like anything else. There are dozens
of Philosophers still held to be credible,
and all different. Perfection does not grow
here.

In my opinion, there's 2 way to express words; first is in informal and second is in formal sentences. Informal sentences explain story in sequence, much like how everyone tells a story; from beginning to the end... while formal sentences tell ideas in category; first is the point, next the motives or reasons, and then the example or proof. -For example: your sentences (the way you wrote) is informal; you wrote in the exact order your thought appears in your mind, but my sentences is mimicking the formal format, I had to consciously rearrange it.
Adhering to formal format will help you make a more concise PowerPoint presentation and also enable you to understand movies and documentary better. This is how people communicate; first people tell you What is going on, and then they will answer Why it is happening, and then they probably showed How it happens. -all Hollywood movies can be appreciated just like this.
One interesting thing about English is the use of "because" and "meaning". I found out that; "because" actually refer to the thing that happen at the beginning of story, while "meaning" actually refer to the thing that happen at the end of the story. -For example:
1: "I fall, because I tripped on the block." (because is used to refer to previous causal link)
2: "The meaning of life is to die pointlessly" (meaning is used to refer to future causal link)

You are correct. What was in my mind at the time.I have a problem with formal...list type of sequencing. Formal seems to me creating structure (123 ABC). Thanks for being patient with me. pljames

Formal in linguistics is usually used as short for "formal structure", same goes for informal. They are both structures, but one has a "formal structure" and one has an "informal structure". The formal structure would be like 123 or ABC, and informal would be like BAC or any kind of incoganative structure, just a structure which was "slapped" together.
The process for developing a formal structure starts with developing an informal format of terms, then re-structuring it. So for example, you come up with BAC, then realize what order they should be in, and come with ABC.
