No I think it behooves the might jam to refrain from linguistic trapezoids, Although as you are well aware I am partial to a rhombus if and only if it progresses towards a loopy trigger monkey.
To be serious for a moment it's good to communicate, to talk I think it's perhaps the one thing in this back water and as this primitive ape we are we don't facilitate as well as we might, there's nothing more annoying than pointless gibberish passed off as some sort of wisdom. And that of course is why I am not a big fan of The Bible, or anything said by any government now existent in politics. Or hence any self righteous p**** with a hard on who thinks he/she has all the answers. I am of course though, well aware that might just be me.
I think though gibberish does serve well in some respects to send up certain ideas, for example Lweis Carol used it in his Alice in wonderland books to send up some of the absurdities that were appearing in science and more particularly in maths with some of the abstract maths postulated at the time. And of course lest we forget Xanadu, which we now know, as I understand, is called Canada, on which a stately pleasure dome was built. Gibberish of course can make a good point, but when it's not used well it's just nonsense. Beware the Jabberwock...
