infinity of utterances and meanings will NEVER be produced, even if all of intelligent life forms -- i even include you in that -- that ever have or ever will be ever spent their entire life doing nothing but coming up with new utterances and meanings. it's impossible. having infinite choices does not make something infinite. i don't care about the psudeoscientific stuff linguists call to make up a concept to pretend like it's so amazing that any word could be developed. that doesn't make it infinite. further just because there's many ways to describe how the implication that just because there are more than one way to describe a concept that somehow increases human stupidity (outside of that very concept, of course) doesn't in the least make it any less asinine, moronic, harebrained, nonsensical, or vacuous
