Fixing Language: An Essay on Conceptual Engineering
: The Imperfect Tool of Language
Language, our primary means of communication, is an imperfect tool. It often fails to convey our thoughts and ideas accurately, leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and even conflict. This is because language is inherently ambiguous and imprecise. Words can have multiple meanings, and the same words can be used in different ways by different people. This makes it difficult to communicate precisely and effectively.
