Don’t be a brick wall.

Mother Tongue is an abstract, a level of comprehension and mental connectivity only possible by understanding the extent to which Words may be used in any given structure of Language. Mother Tongue is the highest degree of understanding, as one has become aware that Language is a construct and subsequently develops a level of interest regarding its construction. Think about lawyers and politicians; many call what they believe to be Mother Tongue spirit of the Language.

Joke: The use of Language in an attempt to create Humor.

Humor: The measure by which one can appreciate the use of Language in an insincere manner. Finding the Humor funny is
