Symbols π and NaCl cannot vary with time and circumstances, nor do they ever change with their contexts. But few words have fixed significations and few expressions in daily use have such simple and direct denotations as these symbols. Really language designates things in an incomplete and inaccurate manner.1) Language is apparently a sword which cuts both ways. With its help man can conquer the unknown; with it he can grievously wound himself. To define our terms at every step may seem an intolerable burden but it is, indeed, the only effective way to sharpen up a blunted word and to restore its cutting edge.
