BreakDown2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Lol I still remember my first day of University, one of my teachers used the word "axiom" like 10 times in an hour and the first thing I did when I came home was to google it. Since that day I use it almost on a daily basis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The merging of two religions, e.g. Shintoism and Buddhism in Japan.Anachronistic and teleological. Basically, when you read history backwards rather than analyse it in its correct context.Historiography. The history of, writing history basically.Lots of linguistic terms also. All of the Latin forms for instance: nominative case, conjugate, ablative absolute etc. The moods and tenses also, the indicative, subjunctive etc.Semiotics. Do not ask!!A lot of theological concepts associated with the reformation such as consubstantiation and predestination.

Gracii Guns Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Semiotics. Do not ask!!Semiotics is a pretty simple concept, but best described using visual aids. In short, it's identifying a sign, a signifier and finding meaning in those. It's used a heck of a lot in advertising.A lot of theological concepts associated with the reformation such as consubstantiation and predestination.Catholic Latin words are my secret weapon in Scrabble. Novena? No problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
