Which words are more then design ?

The same words can have different meanings

The world war leads to what the victory will be

The world freedom is what the freedom will be

The worlds any desire mean what any desire

Which words are more then design ?

Your question doesn't make any sense as it's worded.

Words can have any sort of metaphor we want to assign to them. A woman I used to date, we had this inside joke about having sex in the shower. So, to us, the word "shower" could mean to have sex in addition to all the words in the dictionary...

... but that meaning was unique to the two of us.

It makes me wonder what you're looking to do with this thread. Any word can have extra meaning depending on the context.

Really... I'm just guessing at what your op could mean. What I'm about to ask is meant as an honest question. Please do not take it as an insult: Is English your first language?

If so, then please clarify your op in more detail.

If English is not your first language, I encourage you to seek the assistance of someone who is fluent in both your language and English to provide clarification.

Good luck.

The final version - what goes out of design

English isn't my first language, yet it was expressed fine

You just don't understand all the things around these issues

For example words "any desire" may be told by someone from the Church of Satan and by you

If either one of you follows that words it may be two different things, both of them will be according to the design of the words "any desire"

What you said above just follows another design of your thoughts

- you didn't ignore what I said

- it bothered you

- you bothered to reply

- you was polite

- it was according to what your understand and so on

In one word - it was according to the matter which your thoughts were

No, I'm afraid it was not expressed fine. As I stated before, I strongly urge you to seek aid in translating your thoughts. Right now, there's not debate going on. It's just me trying to figure out what you said :)

Then you need to clarify them further.

What's your point? I truly think there is a language barrier between yourself and volconvo, La Mangra. Any word can be given any meaning if we decide on it or apply a new meaning using context.

Are you looking to discuss idiomatic phrases?

What do you want to debate?

Again, what's to debate here? Language is an expression of thought. That's really not up for debate. Worse, I have an idea you mean something completely different.

Please seek aid in clarifying your post.

Well, not so fine.

Quote:

This is a true statement.

Quote:
The world war leads to what the victory will be
A statement that is both extremely obvious and awkward (the structure of it suggests to me that English is not your first language).

Quote:
The world freedom is what the freedom will be
Awkward. Is there such a thing as "world freedom"? Is it freedom for the whole world? What freedom is "the freedom" that will eventually become world freedom?

Quote:
The worlds any desire mean what any desire
A poorly constructed sentence. Do you mean something more along the lines of "The world's desire means any desire"? Native anglophones wouldn't say "The world's any desire" or "LaMangra's any desire." Also, you should learn how to use appropriate punctuation marks, particularly when trying to communicate a possessive."

Quote:

It's not "more then," it's "more than." The question doesn't make much sense. What do you mean by "more than design"?


"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." -John Quincy Adams -
