Words Can’t Express How I Feel!
In Statistics, discrete variables, such as people, apples and words, are countable. Before leaving the pub, you’re asked.. “How many glasses of wine have you had?” You can’t have 1.5 televisions. On the other hand, continuous quantities such as time, height, volume, alcohol and emotion (?) are measurable. The only limit to you knowing the length of your table is your measuring device. In fact you could argue that by continually zooming in on the end of the tape measure in ever-increasing smaller divisions , you can never state exactly how long the table is. On the way home from the pub you’re asked… “and how much have you had to drink, Sir?”
Could this be a explanation why it’s so difficult to convey our feelings and emotions which are fluid and indefinite by words which are concrete and finite. John Lydon certainly thinks so in this Radio 4 interview with Stephen Fry:
