I wish I could like it, instead I give you praise in more than a symbol. Our languages changed for the worse in the past centuries because only God knows why the mystique, spirit, and metaphorical significance of language has been eroded. The earliest alphabets were symbols and pictures, to represent more than the sign itself. By having a liturgical language that is still in use after millenia, we are connected to this very holiness language contains. As my priest told me: "Language is the greatest distinction between man and animal. Language is spirit", and I do add language contains the essence of God's Spirit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
