@OctaviaConAmore oh yeah as I said the jewish tradition was very into names and words and such and that's old.
Thing is, in the past century, due to USA's influence the importance of literal word by word above all other parts of communication has been popularized.
It's also something that relates to all that race stuff they have going on there, which is a huge mess by itself, but those guys are obsessed with banning words and people all over the place.

@OctaviaConAmore the more languages you know the more you find nuance and meaning being portrayed outside literal words. Japanese is contextual in a lot of stuff (with that humor of double meaning), italians use gestures a lot giving a whole other meaning to what they say, in spanish we used to do a lot of physical contact before european culture started to come in, which helped to asses complicity on what is being said (some old people still do It a lot)
