Having Fun With The Language

4/4/2014

0 Comments

 
Part of the fun of writing is having fun with the language. Like bad science jokes (scientists tell the corniest jokes), it's something you can't fully appreciate unless you've got a firm grasp of the subject. For instance, the word: unionize. The same spelling carries disparate meanings in different disciplines, and the only clue as to which is intended is how the word is pronounced -- unionize versus un-ionize. Thus, if you're a chemist, that word means something different than what you would think if you were a plumber instead, as illustrated below.
