Hey -

What's this "grrl" business anyway? Is it supposed to be like "womyn" was a couple of years back?

That was supposed to be important because the people who used it thought that the language we use or have at our disposal effects what and/or how we think.. or at least confines the thoughts that we can think... A la Orwell's 1984... a la the Saphir Worf hypothesis....

(They're mistaken by the way... Chomsky's "Syntactic Structures", 1956 demonstrates that language can do no such thing ...Googling "Chomsky Principals and Parameters" will bring up lots on this thought.)

But that doesn't really apply to this "grrl" business.... What's up? Is it just cool.. or ....??? I see it all over the place now.

Just askin'

Joe
