Language cannot be decoupled from what it is trying to work with. It is a tool! We can manipulate the air in such a way with our mouths that ears can hear.

I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing a small amount of "world knowledge" to guide language parsing - the world caused language to "be" not the other way around.

Object before subject: I'll grant you that - its a probable sign of madness or a green puppet.

Me, really? You screamed!
