Does anyone know where words come from? Michelle asked me if I ever wondered why something was called the thing they were called, but surly the better question is how are they called something at all?
Did all the cavemen all decide on sounds for everything? Were things like ‘hello’ and ‘water’ or ‘mountain’ (obviously not the exact words but rather a translation) originally just grunts that the Neanderthals agreed should be that wet stuff or that big thing? Same goes for names for that matter.
Don’t think too much about it though. You’ll go crazy.
