Words words words

This is a joint comment with love from Shayne and Katherine:
(Shayne is having problems logging in.)
 
I know that Paul and I have debated about the use of big words to convey foriegn ideas.  Particularly, we were arguing about writing styles of ethnographies and whether or not they should be written in language that is easily understood by people.  And in that argument, I was on the side of using big words, because if it's not presented in language that we are not really used to and requires greater effort to decipher, then we don't really recognize that it's different.  However, I think that right now we're working with the opposite situation.  If you want your ideas to reach people, then you need to put them in language that people are going to understand.
 
("Irradiated" and "ameliorations" are big words.)
(Ethnographies are anthropological writings about other cultures.  I apologize, because it IS a big word.)
 
Here is a beautiful, simple cutout by Matisse.  Beautiful and simple like our language should be. Or it would be if we could figure out how to get pictures to work on this blog. Here's the link though: http://www.kinderart.com/arthistory/matisse_icarus.jpg
Enjoy.
