    Dear Ian,

    You wrote 19 Apr 2004 00:11:13 +0100:
    'Many (most?) apparently literal facts were once metaphors, now so commonly
    accepted, that their origin in
    metaphor is lost to all but linguists.'

    I think "all literal facts were once metaphors" is defendable.
    To what extent is "America is an experiment" and "war is an experiment"
    accepted as fact among Americans?

    With friendly greetings,

    Wim
