(21:26:44) Kathryn: i meant logically
(21:26:45) [me]: you mean how that has anything to do with the part before?
(21:26:50) Kathryn: yes
(21:27:17) [me]: that can stay ambiguous. There's some context here that makes it a little clearer. You'll see later
(21:27:30) Kathryn: o...k...
(21:28:25) [me]: I'm not on crack; I promise.
(21:28:37) Kathryn: riiight

(12:16:42) kesuari: literal definition often means "in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict meaning of the word or words; not figurative or metaphorical"
(12:17:01) [me]: fair enough
(12:17:07) [me]: people certainly use it that way
(12:17:49) kesuari: that's the first definition on dictionary.com ;)
(12:18:25) [me]: yeah, I guessed you'd pulled it from a dictionary
(12:18:44) kesuari: well, i was pointing out it's the *first* definition
(12:18:52) kesuari: i.e. the primary one
(12:20:08) [me]: dictionaries don't always know which to put first
(12:20:37) kesuari: in the case of "literal" i think they got it right
(12:20:49) kesuari: people don't use it to mean its literal definition i.e. "of letters" very often
(12:21:03) kesuari: (oh noes! i've used "literal" with a different definition!)
(12:22:46) [me]: you're just trying to be meta and ironic to get on my quotes page
(12:23:01) [me]: *to get more on my quotes page
(12:23:06) [me]: you dominate it anyway these days
(12:23:27) kesuari: lol no, i was just trying to be ironic because irony is funny
(12:23:40) kesuari: if that gets me on your quotes page, well then, i can use that in my plot to take over the world
(12:23:49) kesuari: and if it doesn't, well, it's not a vital step anyway
...
(12:25:40) kesuari: actually, that could be more a difference of the implications of "primary" anyway. so maybe i was using "literal" with its literal meaning, but "literal" and "primary" are both thankfully ambiguous in the same way?
(12:25:43) kesuari: i am confused.

(18:54:03) khannatanmai: I guess if we struggled with ambiguity in daily life, language would be pretty inefficient
