Twittear

I highly enjoy finding new words in Spanish. Like this one: twittear, meaning to tweet. (pronounced: twee-tay-ar)

Which leads me to a philosophical question. There's your basic "Can something exist without a name?" (The answer, for all intents and purposes, is no.  But I'd LOVE to hear a good argument to the contrary!) But the one that thinking of twitter prompted me to ponder is "Can a 'thing' exist without a verb to accompany it?"

Well, I'm off to go read me some Cervantes, aka...the master of prompting philosophical inquiry.

(Seriously...I think he might be better at it than Socrates OR Plato.  Just sayin')
