Readings for Week of Sept. 22

1) why are alternative spellings considered wrong? For example QuickTrip compared to KwickTrip?

2) I'm confused on the state ment, "Such signs, therefore, never merely provide information" (p. 94 paragraph 1)

3) Do you agree that language really does not identify things or objects? What would be an alternative to this then if you agree?

In response to question to number 3. I think that language is key to have order and communication. In terms of symbols, language helps us to understand what is being represented because we all are individuals and understand things different but with language it helps for all of us to be on the same page. There is no other way to identify an object without words (language).
