Redundancy in language



Dear justfuckinggoogleit,

 

Thank you for taking the time to prepare the splash page. I would like to point out to you that the use of the word ‘fucking’ provides no linguistic assistance as it is a redundant term. That is, this term does nothing to assist in the definition of the meaning of the term ‘fucking’.  For example, if you lived in an English speaking country on the east side of the Atlantic Ocean, ‘bloody’ would suffice. On the west side, ‘goddam’ could be expected. The use of the word ‘tove’ could work equally as well as our Lord Ludwig Wittgenstein can attest. Various uses of the word ‘fuck’ as a noun, verb, object, contortionist behaviour or as an ineffective sexual reproduction practice (such as ‘go fuck yourself’) allow this highly contextual and emotive term and its derivations are thoroughly useful in describing contextual aspects, the use here is superfluous. That is, it adds nothing to the context except - on this occasion – to demean and embarrass the recipient. The inclusion of ‘fucking’ in this web site indicates that there is a frustration and perhaps a lack of compassion on the part of the protagonist and leaves the recipient without useful direction except to convey that the originator of the message is directing an emotional punishment and indicating a distinct impression that the recipient has transcended some ‘unwritten rule’. As the famous (and still alive for some reason) philosopher Scott Adams states: ‘If an unwritten rule is so important, why hasn’t it been written down?’ In summary, the removal of the word ‘fucking’ will have no bearing upon the value of this exhortation and should be removed.

 

I have attached a wav. file that you may find instructive.
