You reach them in the language they speak. How is that communcation thing working out for you and the other literal minded conservatives on languge? Miserable job.

There is NO one english language, there are many dialects.

Math is not communication, regardless of how much literallists want it.

To compare the two is to show why conservatives have such a terrible time communicating.

Your advocacy is for waiting for the ignorant to come up to your speed. They won't. There are too many dialects that you won't speak.

This assertion is probably the best indication there is of your absolute confusion on the topic, and why it's probably pointless to attempt to communicate with anyone who understands so little.

Mathematics is the most essential form of communication. It is -- provably -- the only language in which self-consistent and unambiguous truths can be communicated. It is the language of all real science, and communicates between those who speak it at levels far higher, far more abstractly, and far more quickly than anything that English can achieve.

We must agree to disagree, and I seriously doubt that you can even understand why. This is often the paradox: those capable of uttering nothing but grunts and profanities believe themselves to be "communicating" something raw and essential.

Nope. They aren't. Animals don't speak mathematics. [Some] humans do.
