NAMES

“I am an Alice” (from Alice In Wonderland by Disney).

Names are words or terms that describe a person or a ‘thing’. It’s what distinguishes that person & ‘thing’ from the rest of the world.

But why do humans have the need to label everything as they do. Why do we only function with tags and fear the unknown? Eventually we will run out of names!

“The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective).” There is also an estimated number of around 6 thousand languagegs.

As of 8 February 2010, the Earth's population is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6,801,400,000. If you look at this from a perfectly mathematical point of view, approximately every 9% of the population speaks one language and the population as a whole speaks has over billions of words to speak and names to call. With such a high language range, how well do we really communicate?

If you try to examine the effect of a word or label on the actions of a human being, could you see if the action caused the word or did the word cause the action? Take two examples:
1. Eric is an Ex-Convict; he acts like one.
2. Sara got a new Louis Vuitton purse that her roommate loved, and eventually stole.

After an evolution of what is apparently almost 2 million years of existence, language has come a long way and its still going futher with minor introductions like Jubrish. It may have even gone further than apprehended. With many new names and verbs being introduced, a person may lose snese of the what he or she knows.
