The papers on language as

The papers on language as tacit knowledge are very intriguing. One thing I'd like to bring up is the importance of language, even as far back as the writing of the Bible. The story of Babel is extremely interesting. The idea that we all had one language and that God took that language and that unity away from us. All other languages could be constructed with that formula in mind though. And it seems that ever since Babel, languages have been splintering off. Yes, many people do speak English, but how many different forms of English are there. There's England-English, American-English, and Australian-English, which are all very similar, excluding some vocabulary. However, we have colleges that teach courses on things like ebonics. English itself is a fractured language.
