By taking a consensus of the various pitches at which the word "Evolution" is used, I could do what?

[Gottservant]

Yes. Words can be spoken in different ways. They can be spoken quickly or slowly, high pitched or low pitched.

However, that does not alter the concepts that the words are used to describe. It doesn't matter howq a person says the word "evolution", it will still mean the same thing.

So you are ruling out, that there may be a better way to say it?

As long as the meaning is communicated, it doesn't matter how it is said. Saying "evolution" in a different tone of voice does not add any more information to it.

Then you can't learn how to say it?

Or you can only ever learn to say it, the one way??

... what are you saying? You're not making any sense.

I know how to say it.

You need to realise that the way it is said means nothing. I can say it fast or slow, high or low pitched, and it always means the same thing. That's how the English language works.

I can say "evolution" in my regular voice and it means evolution. I can say it in a high pitched voice and it still means evolution. I can say it in as low a voice as I can get, and it still means evolution. The meaning will not change no matter how I say it.

Are you really clueless or just winding us up?

And you don't evolve it, no matter how many different ways you say it?

Or you evolve it, and then you evolve back? until there is more to evolve?

I am talking about learning to say a word, in principle with more difficulty than less (thanks to Evolution).

... you're still not making a lick of sense. Evolution has no bearing on how you can learn to say a word.
The only real difference is if you were born in Britain (soft e) or America (hard e). As shown here.

No. saying a word in a different way is not evolving it.

Things can change without evolving. I can change the direction my desk lamp is pointing, that doesn't mean my lamp is evolving.

Are you asking if words can change meaning over time? Sure they can, but that is not evolution in any biological sense. Your analogies (?) are not at all accurate or helpful and simply demonstrate a lack of understanding of both biology and linguistics.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

You need to actually learn about evolution.

Yes, we are all now well acquainted with your fear of knowledge and information by now.

I prefer revelation. Thin ice scares me.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Ah yes, the tree of knowledge. I prefer revelation.

Nope.
Seriously: why do you fear to learn anything new? You're what? Past 50 and your refuse to learn anything new? That's honestly quite sad.

By "anything new" I assume you mean the ToE.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

I learn more about what I already know.

Not a good attitude.

Revisit that post.

In the Army 'learning more about what you know' is called advanced individual training (AIT). So you can see that my knowledge is very advanced.

Why study something that contradicts what you already know?

My reply still remains the same.
