in vain they could cause harm both to oneself and to others.
[1] For the sake of discussion I will accept that maths can also be
used
to communicate.
Physics can be used to communicate too - the Yanks certainly got their
message across in Hiroshima.
Surprisingly, the Americans *didn't* actually get their message across
in Hiroshima. Their "communication" had to be repeated at Nagasaki
before the message got across to the Japanese that they were beaten.
The idea that language is the only subject taught in schools that is
used as a means of communicating information and ideas to others is of
course nonsense. One of the most powerful means of communication is
through the visual arts. Drama is also a powerful means of
communication that can be partially or completely non-verbal.
Is drama any use when applying for an office or production line job?
Your dramatic skills are impressive... by merely wiggling your fingers
over a keyboard, you created the image of a moving goalpost.
Thank you for so eloquently proving my point.
