What’s in a Word

How do we determine meaning?

Can we find meaning in a single word?

Is the one who spoke the word or the hearer of that word responsible for it’s meaning?

Do more words create more meaning?

Is there a single meaning or do we allow plurality of meanings?

How do we respond to words?

Are our responses in line with the meaning or meanings?

How does meaning of a word change over time?

I have more questions than answers as I delve into my written words. From letters, emails, blogs, articles, to 140 character tweets. Where are finding meaning, whose deciding if its right?
