OK, so remember how we discussed why words are important? And how no word is uttered accidentally? And how it’s my profession to analyze words? Right?
Good. Now let’s look at a quote from a fellow who tries to explain why he’s bothered by the Trans-Pacific trade deal:
In other words, if you’re accused of downloading anime in America, the Japanese government can force your American ISP to hand over all of your parents’ online records.
Anime? Parents? Of all the words he could have chosen, he went with these. I checked, he’s a middle-aged man. Here, however, he speaks in a voice of a 13-year-old boy. And it’s not just this excerpt. The whole text is like that.
I find this very curious.
