The average person: Words onset
Myths and What You Can Measure
What is an ‘average’ person?
That certainly includes everyone
along a spectrum,
a distribution,
with two well-defined ends:
Nebulous at the left end and Precise at the right end
for instance.
How many different spectrums
(or distributions)
make up the average person?
LOL.
But, continuing, the shape of the two ‘ends’
does matter (spectrum or distribution).
Negative is to the left, positive is to the right. In this distribution (normal or Gaussian), these are in terms of the mean (middle value arithmetically — you do speak it) for the entire spectrum/distribution. Put another way, left is most negative with respect to a mean, right is most positive with respect to that same mean.
For humans, languaging is everything: mathematics and computer programs are included in the number of languages we can learn. Put another way…
