yeah but what if we were both knights and sometimes after sparring we’d clank our helmets together to mock a winners’ kiss and i think it will be just us forever but then you have to go away for battle and I pace the courtyard wishing the sword at my hip was actually the weight of your hand and then you stumble through the door and reach for me and i pull off your helmet and cup your face and kiss your lips until i’m drinking devotion because i want to taste victory and there is none on any other and i would clean the blood off you with my mouth as long as you keep your eyes on me. what then

I guess a more general version of the point is that in the last 50-ish years, everyday language has borrowed more and more of both the terminology and structural features of technical language. This happens for a lot of reasons. But I think it's mostly not a good thing. For one, being abstract and technical is not actually very useful in the messy real world, where concepts are fuzzy and vague and most things of importance are not quantifiable. For another, if natural language borrows too much of the authority of science and the law, it might find that there's not enough left afterwards for science and the law to do what we need them to do.
