If you check the Wikipedia page for 'Wheelbarrow,' you'll find that the sisterhood of language usage snobs (SOLUS¹, for you lovers of acronym) now insist that the word's origin has had nothing to do with a barrel. Do you really expect me to believe that?
Well, maybe they're right-from a certain point of view. Words do morph, and as it happens, we keep track of some of it. But how can one be certain that the word 'barrel' doesn't share its origin with the same old English word that eventually came to be used for wheeled, half barrel-shaped somethings that haul stuff? As I age, more and more I question conventional assertions. There's just too much widespread folk wisdom. Further, the shortest, most certain sentences are among those most likely to contain errors. Trust me².
If you bother to check Merriam-Webster's definition of 'Media,' you'll find that they're still not yet capable of describing what the word means without again using a variation of the word itself in its own description. ¿Tell me, did you not start out reading the previous sentence with a sort of comfortable certainty, as though you had a brief feeling of 'well, at least we can still trust a dictionary as a resource,' right before you were forced to start thinking about the absurdity? Carefully controlled semantical nuance considered and then rejected, they really dropped the reins on that one. Why couldn't they flex enough to at least describe 'media' metaphorically, like by calling it 'the paint with which a canvas is painted,' or something? The pursuit of accuracy and precision will have a diminished return; when a medium becomes so much concerned with improving these that it starts to lose the intended affect of its message, what then is the use? If even the definitional authorities are full of sh!t, exactly which authorities remain unimpacted enough for us to trust?
Answer: none of them³. Remain critical. Whether it's the usage of a word or of a wheel-barrel, consider potential for yourself, and then apply your own solutions. History, and thus certainty, remain(s) nebulous. Authorities have access to no better records; whenever they do, their authority is no longer legitimate. And as for you agents of standardization, your frustrations will be circular. You are digging in sand, in vain, to attempt to control the fractalized splintering that is expression. We have a finite amount of time, and we must use a finite number of combinations in order to exchange our ideas, but the nuance with which our ideas may be written is without limitation, and the substrate upon which they're placed is without end.
¹Note the poetry of this 'word': it's as though comfort could be found in concerted neuroticism. The development of an unnecessarily strong ability to express has a diminishing, and then eventually inverting, return.
²Yep, that two-word statement was irony. Oh, you noticed? You're very clever!
³Be sure to observe all local laws and regulations. It is also best to follow (most) any advisement that has been given by a medical professional. Consider that this message is mostly just for my own personal entertainment and vanity; as such, you probably should disregard everything you've just read. In fact, this discussion might've been in orbit of a completely unrelated topic, had I not felt the urge to spurn that pretentious twit of a recent commenter who had insisted that my dialect's use of 'heighth' is somehow not arbitrary, and, as it follows from his reasoning, empirically "wrong." Look, I'm not saying that the MLA and APA can't have their standardized formats-I'm just wondering if hard-heads like that actually realize that our words are just grunts that've been modified over time.

Instead of the shelf, I made a glovebox going about 4 inches back - just enough to contain small hand tools & gloves to keep them from mixing into the load. Also a light weight plywood load extender that drops into the bed to raise the sides, nice for leaves!

It's a 200 year old Irish invention. They got tired of rolling full barrels of liquor down the street so they threw some wheels under it and called it the "wheeled barrel relocation apparatus", but very quickly got slurred down to just "wheelbarrow".
@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 2 года назад
Stop that. No folk-wisdom here. The Chinese have been using wheelbarrows for at least two _thousand_ years. Whenever I hear the word "invention," a little red flag goes up. The origin of a well-developed idea is seldom simple. And slurred Irish speech is the mark of a bad joke.

Ever hear the expression, _killing a fly with a sledgehammer_ ? It's a bit of an overkill to eliminate its suspension system just to avoid the occasional air-up. Besides, it would end up rutting the yard and getting stuck in every puddle. Respectfully, I decline that mod.

My wife loves linguistics, and I occasionally get forwarded articles she finds interesting or funny. I don't know if it is just because of my wife filtering what she sends me, but my impression is that people who actually study language are far more interested in what you mean when you say a word than in telling you what the word should mean.
@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 2 года назад
Sure. I'll agree to that. You'll have to expand on the point for me to see the disagreement. If this is about the dictionary, that's an engineered tool, and so those working most closely on it are probably well aware of, and frustrated by, its limitations. Those same people are also hyper-aware of just how dynamic language is restricted (by its nature) to be. Language is the best we can do~but man, is it imperfect. I get the feeling that people would hate me a lot less if I could just better explain my position on things. As it stands though, I've been pressured into reclusion, pending a better format.

@@pocket83squared I'm not really disagreeing, just highlighting a difference between people who love language and those who seek to cudgel you with it. Sometimes the definition of a word really matters, e.g. the difference between mass and weight to a physicist, or mass and heft to a poet; but if people already understand what you are saying and then start picking at it... that's just annoying. Except when it's punny. As for getting less hate if you explain better, you seem pretty clear to me already.

Did you do carpentry professionally? I'm going to trade school and getting into the trades right now and I find your videos absolutely fascinating. I've always loved working with my hands and doing jobs that give me a physical out come to be proud of. I feel like in the commercial trade world it's not encouraged to be proud of your work or strive to make things the best they can be ("as long as it works let it ride"). Your videos though are so fun and interesting and you really push the point of being proud of your work and striving for perfection or realistically as close as possible. You're a clever guy, thank you for your content!
@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 2 года назад
Considering the high demand now, you should do well in the trades. You're clearly smart enough to make a spot for yourself. Just try to keep what is yours and what is work's separate; if the two become one thing, you may start to become disillusioned, since it will feel as though your quality is not being appreciated. Remember, non-experts hire experts _becasue_ they do not have expertise. Don't expect them to see the quality in what you do, as it will quite often be invisible to them. And yes, I was in the trades. Dad started me out carrying 2x4s, one or two at a time, for $1 an hour, at age 9. Thanks for your support. One more thing: learn to fix old tools immediately. There's one difference between the guys who make it and those who don't: tenacity.

@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 8 месяцев назад
No problem. One way is to make a cardboard template first. Just keep cutting it until it fits, then trace it. Another way is to throw your chunk of plywood up on the handles, and then use a spacer-block (like a chunk of 2x4) to trace around the shape of the curve.
