Dear Sandy:



Subject: LL-L "Language programming"



A propos of our corrospondance on 'language' programming; re my assertion:

"This is a very important string. I cannot immediately motivate my but I
know I am not alone in my assurance that language 'programs' the Mind, to
its possessor's great advantage or otherwise."



It occurs to me we have been talking at cross purposes. I have augered in on
language (the term) similar to that in Afrikaaans of for example
'haatspraak' = hate-speech &c, Whereas you are more precisely focussed on
for example the term as expressed in 'Die Skotse Taal' = The Scottish
Tongue. As far as focus applies, it seeems to me you have the best of it.



I still think I'm right, though, in my little corner.



Yrs,

Mark.
