“What you want to do is interesting, to an extent. But what I am paying closer attention to is why. Your purpose is really the fact of the matter. And, interestingly, the same is true of speech since, clearly, the meaning of the words and the meaning of the speaker, and the meanings interpreters make take from these… are all distinct, if related orders of meaning. But the purpose of the one speaking is the actual message. In every case. And this is something too few have learned to attend. Everything I have said here applies to this paragraph. And us.”
