Our Lexicon Is Shrinking.

Every year More words are removed from dictionaries all over the world. As society changes, Words that are used less and less often are completely removed from Dictionaries worldwide. In fact, In 2015 The Oxfords dictionaries replacement of words they termed (nature oriented ) were replaced with more modern terms and the original terms were completely removed. Gone forever are certain older (Religious and Natural terms ) Mostly Words we don't commonly hear anymore in everyday conversation.

These changes are updated annually and in fact, some of these changes have sparked an international outcry.



But are these changes important?

Here is what Oxford has to say, " Forty years ago, Nature and the outdoors, in general, played a much larger more integral role in everyone's life. But in the more modern era, Less of the populous seem to even care that there is an (outside) Modern children statistically like to sit at home and play video games and even use the internet. So those words that were removed were words that were rarely queried and according to Oxford not only has the Lexicon not shrank, it's grown considerably words like Bluebell and Zealot have been replaced with More modern and useful terms that would be more meaningful to a post 20th-century society, Language evolves over time and as such, If dictionaries and thesauruses weren't updated regularly in fifty to a hundred years time they would be completely useless and in a foreign language nobody understands"



For me, this raises a few questions, English Dictionaries around the world contain Bits and pieces of the full English Lexicon, there are roughly 171.476 words in current use, and 47.156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9.500 derivative words included as subentries.

It's these Obsolete words that worry me. I'm sure many of us can understand why some words are stricken and not really used anymore if you have ever spoken to your great grandparents about the golden days gone by, you begin to Quickly realize they used an entirely different slang culture then in modern times.

But is it better that many older words are considered obsolete and removed from the lexicon entirely?
I used to believe Language was something that evolved over time, With natural use and natural substitution, But it seems like there are people pulling the strings, choosing/forming/shaping the Language we speak.

What power these individuals possess. that even the words from our very mouths are edited and deleted as need be.

I leave you with the longest word in the English Lexicon, Read it quickly before Oxford removes it pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. : ( a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust.)

It's a great Big universe, And we're not.

Is there a larger agenda in play? Could the goal be to dumb-down the population in the same logic as putting estrogen in all plastics to emasculate and remove the fighting spirit. I think the trend towards texting is radically changing our language as if to compress it.

Imo erasing words is wrong and is one more form of control.
Imagine ( this is a little stupid ) that in the future time travel is indeed possible no one will know how the f**k they should talk to people if they go back in time even 100 or 150 years.
In the city i live we have an accent ( you being from Texas i think you will understand ) and people from the capital always mock us but my generation is " proud " of the way we talk but the kids now are talking more and more like people talk in the capital because on tv they make them think that is cool.
That makes me mad and sad because we are loosing our uniqueness our culture.
I think this is happening everywhere and we are aiming to a single world language and culture and imo its a shame.

Sorry, my reply is late guys, I was cooking dinner for Sam, It's Ribs and mashed potatoes and veggies tonight. Now that you mention it, It makes me think, Surely a government wouldn't want the common citizen to match their power intellectually. If they did, There wouldn't be so many classified intelligence documents, That's a pretty good call brother.

It makes me wonder, Would a one world government and culture be a step toward true world peace or would it just destroy cultural diversity while citizens found new things to alienate each other with?

These are some deep thoughts. It makes me really worry about the future even more so, And it's not like anyone was really (Not) worried about the future to begin with :/

I've heard that some aliens don't name everything like we do. It must be considered a more rudimentary form of language. In Jim Sparks' book The Keepers he talks about how they taught him their compression logic. They would have him read about a chapter then compress it to a set squiggly lines. The image goes from right to left. All the information is ultimately condensed into the lower right image. When I was in grade school one of my teachers said every time you learn something you get a wrinkle in your brain. Maybe there's some truth to that.

I've never commented much on the extraterrestrial glyphs or alphabet posts. But I figured now was a good a time as any. I actually have a paper with some I guess they are letters written down. Of what my dad says was written on a Craft him and my uncle saw. I will look for this and try to upload it in the next couple of days, if I can't find it. I will just ask my dad to jot them down for me, We have spoken about it so many times over the years. I know he hasn't forgotten. But when I do, I will probably Pm them to you, I'm not trying to put my father or his story out there, I was just curious what you may think of them, So expect those in the next couple of days brother.

I've heard owners of craft are obligated to post certain glyphs on their bulkhead. I suspect it has to do with respecting free will of the inhabitants of the planet. One translation is Freedom. Apparently there's some intelligences that can determine what's posted on the inside of craft.

That's pretty cool!!, I always believed my dad's story. We had spoken about the letters many times, but neither of us ever had any idea what they meant, My assumption was it was some kind of official craft or military vehicle and it had identification on it kind of like we do with official vehicles.

This is one of those things that makes me really think deeply. Sure the next logical step is oh well they have organizations and governments too!. But to me, This is even a little scary. Check it out brother Toroid, How Like Us. Are they? even their furniture and tools and clothing and now markings on their craft
They seem so much like a Human civilization. in so many ways. Even down to how there are claimed hybridizations between them and us.

So, It makes me wonder. They are so alike to us. In so many ways. This is profound really. There is almost a clearly focused image, formed from all of this.
Why are they so like us in very intricate ways brother toroid? Did they just find us? or did they create us? Or are they Us from some parallel time or even dimension? Perhaps they are a parallel Humanity from another dimension? But they are so much like us. one really has to question why and how. You know?

I believe there are races here that are future versions of us. Lets say there is a future version of yourself here then that would mean the soul is bilocating. How many past and future versions could there be?

That's a simple answer, Infinity, Within the physical space of all ten conceived dimensions, there is an infinite possibility, which carries over to an infinite causality and possible alternate record of event for all space within just this universe. But. when you factor in multiverse theory. you still have an infinite chance, The mathematics of infinity are funny. even a tiny fraction of infinity is infinity. And to add to infinity is pointless as well, because even if you add to infinity. The number does not change, It is infinite.

But that mathematical side rant being put aside. There is literally an infinite chance that there is an infinite unending variation of life that could be encountered within the multiverse given an infinite amount of time. in fact. I'm going go ahead and say, I think you are probably right here. This is a version of Humanity in my eyes, From so far in the future. if not all of them, Then just some of them. But they have come back here for many reasons, This may be considered a very healthy prosperous golden era in the grand scheme of things I think.

I heard there's a group here called the Rogues from 40,000 years in the future with the goal of ensuring a particular timeline. I wish I could determine what present alterations have been made in order to accomplish that. Maybe they're the source of the Mandela Effect. In the Law of One Ra said the first thing that came into existence was the Infinity then it became self-aware.

Will I be able to find documentation on the Rogues? That sounds like an awesome read.

Unfortunately I don't recall where I heard about them, but I presume it came form an obscure C2C show.

Imo no it would not and it would be very very borring not to mention that putting the whole world under the power of a single gouvernment would be insane and very dangerous.
If that ever comes true then freedom is going to be officialy dead.

Mine isn't.

In fact I just invented a new word and will use it shortly.

Amazing, Modern English the language we speak is little more seven hundred years old. How quickly language evolves.

How old is the English language? After reading the Emerald Tablets of Thoth: The Atlantean I decided to anagram some of the spells listed in the book. LA-UM-I-L-GAN anagrams to Lug Animal which is a rough description of what the spell does. How is that possible? It would imply the English language predates the tablets and can be used to interface with the holographic software. Thoth claims to be of pure Orion/Rigelian decent. Does that mean our language was imported from Orion? The tablets are estimated to be 38,000 years old.

That's neat.

My reflex is the claim is goofy. But this is new to me and I know jack about it so I will have to do some digging.

As far original claim about the lexicon that it simply wrong. There are hundreds of thousands of new terms: manscaping, greenunist, etc., Trolling and other words have aquired a new meanings.
