Sean,
thanks. But this is not just on the web though (01)
Take a phone book of London
Look up Sean Barker
How many will you find?
Take any book, any dictionary, and look up common words in the
glossaries, there are tons of possible instances, and unless you
disambiguate with a context, you will not be able to distinguish such
instances (02)
Take reality as a whole, pick a grain of sand in the desert
can you differentiate it from another grain of sand in another desert
without forensic analysis? (03)
If not entirely a waste of your time, could you please point me a bit
further, and tell what does your example demonstrate that I am not
grasping?
thanks (04)
PDM (05)
