Why Words are so Important

Ok, I can't help myself. When I see things like this, I think it's a good time to point out why being careful with words is so important. It's also why I think learning essays in school is important, if you learn them well. Because they work the ol' noggin on logic.

So, I read someone's question on Yahoo! today, and it said:

"what was the highest mountain in the world before mt everest was
discovered?"


Now really, was there a mountain that was taller than Everest before Everest was discovered?

Um, I'll let you be the judge, because I know I'm just being ornery.
