Document Summary
There is nothing we can do about it unless we take measurements. Avoid vagueness because it is an obstacle of plain: quantifiers and qualifiers. They are very important when we are talking precisely: ambiguity, words that conceal. It is language that covers up the reality. It is all covered up by technical language. This example does not have words that are concealed. This example has words that are concealed: hypostatization. Poverty is stalking out nation"s children. this example is hypostatization because poverty is not a living thing and in this sentenced it is said as if it was. The nation demands that every citizen rally behind the war effort this example is hypostatization because nation is not a living thing.
