It says something about a paper when a list of abbreviations can hold your attention.

It says something about a paper when a list of abbreviations can hold your attention.
- laichzeit0 10y agoSince I'm a long time /fit shitposter and lurker when I read that list of acronyms I laughed a bit, but then it dawned on me "that's a pretty good bunch of definitions, but still it doesn't really truly convey the whole meaning of the words". You actually have to experience those things to completely "get" the meaning of some of those words. This makes me sad because one of my other hobbies is classical literature and I don't think I will ever properly understand Plato either no matter how well I read the definition of an Attic Greek word or see it appear in 10 different contexts. Something is irretrievably missing and unconveyable. I find the same problem when I try and translate words from my second language to English.
