I think not, Mister tsuwm, the question "What is a word" is fundamental to a Judaic Christian understanding of the purpose and make up of the Universe.

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God and the Word was God.

From this it is easy to infer that the Word, or at least a mathematical formula for the existence of a Universe, preceded the Universe.

Inherent in the understanding of any such formula, obviously, is the reason for the existence of all of the contributors to this Awad board; including a tsuwm, a Father Steve, or a lowly ameba, or even a Wordminstriel or a Faldage.

Pedanticism, indeed...Repent!
