Relative Semantics

Relative Semantics, Part 2

More semantic concerns regarding relationships and descriptions, and again we begin with background to clarify the conundrum.  Think about filling out standard questionairres -- age, gender, these are easily answered.  The choices are few, and there are rarely variations or gray areas.

Relative Semantics

Relative Semantics, Part 1

There are all sorts of words and terms for family relationships.  Cousins, second-cousins, sister-in-law, step-brother, relative by marriage, in-law, great aunt, and so forth.  There are terms for former relatives, such as one's ex, or former brother-in-law.  Which leads to the first of a few questions under the heading of relative semantics.

The
4th of July is often referred to as the birthday of the country.  Of

holiday) makes more sense.  Coming up in a few days is a birthday of
significant note -- to some, who feel that they "live on the net," it might
just be tantamount to Independence Day for
netizens.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
