Language -any language- has a dearth of possibilities that man refuses to admit. We prefer to think that language is a limitless tool at our service. We may believe we can express our thoughts adequately using words but, unfortunately, language does not stretch that much. Feelings and emotions are hard to pin down with words, words whose meanings change in time, and with customs and conventions. There will always be a gap between what we are trying to convey and the words we actually use. Language is not a static entity so please do not be deceived, and remember that language is not a precision tool.
