How anything means anything

Selected by:

I always despised the phrase “it’s just semantics” when used in an argument because that’s the entire point of using words, the semantics of it. Without semantics in our communication everything would be vague and meaningless as if we don’t already have a hard time getting our thoughts across. That’s why we feel cathartic when we hear a word or a phrase that perfectly encapsulates an emotional state we couldn’t have expressed otherwise. This week’s issue is the idea of communication and how we get meaning across not only with language itself but with sound and references as well. Enjoy!
