the empire strikes back

alam mo ba kung ano ang silbi ng strikethrough??? san nga ba to nanggaling?
ako, sa totoo lang, di ko alam eh. kasi diba, strikethroughs are non-virtually for erasures, pero kung iisipin mo, diba ang senseless ng strikethrough sa computers? kasi bat pa inimbento yung backspace at del kung meron na man palang strikethrough, or the other way around: bat pa inimbento yung strikethrough kung pwede naman palang backspace at del. *i'm making sense ryt?*

pero napansin ko lang, ginagamit ko pala yung strikethrough. ahaha. yep. pero, i actually didn't know what it stood for. ginaya ko lang tong concept of strikethrough. kung mapapansin niyo, may strikethroughs dun sa description ko sa aking sarili sa baba. i took the idea from a certain professional journalist na gumamit ng strikethroughs sa kanyang blog descrition. manggagaya lang ako, at binase ko yung paggamit ko dun sa strikethrough based on my comprehension of that journalist's description. and she used the strikethrough to cross out what she is not anymore. she strikethroughed her previous ages to keep track of the age she started blogging. that's kind of smart to do, so i copied. but, just now i realized like any other word in the English dictionary, that a thing may mean a lot of things. for instance, the word save may mean to free from danger, but it could also mean except. the word orange may mean the orange fruit, or it may mean the adjective that describes color. You may mean singular, or it could mean plural. anyway, my point here is a lot of stuff means a lot of stuff, and the danger of ambiguity is perspective. misunderstanding is caused by ambiguity as a person may think that one word the other person says is far off from what that other person means.

get it? strikethroughs may mean a lot: for erasures (but i think that it's impractical to use a strikethrough in typing because there is the backspace key), for crossing out history, without forgetting what that history is, or even broadcasting that you've changed, and you aren't like that anymore. it may even be used against math; when you've had a lot of great scores in math and you suddenly fail, you'll hate it. strikethroughs may have a positive or a negative connotation. one good thing may seem one bad thing for another. strikethroughs may also mean something you want but you can't have or something you want to do but you can't do it anymore. but, strikethroughs may also mean emphasis, such as highlighting. but, gruff, i'm goin' round the bend; i can't list all those things.

gustuhin ko mang mag-strikethrough nang magstrikethrough, siguro i have to back off a little bit. alam mo yun, pag natutunan mo ang isang bagay for the first time, gagawin mo to all day long kasi may bago kang natutunan. kunwari, whistling, when one learns how to whistle, all day long wala na siyang gagawin kundi mag-whistle. achievement kasi eh. ganun din ako, pag natutunan ko ang isang bagay na gamitin, maaaliw akong ulit-ulitin ito. kaya nung natutunan kong mag-strikethrough, i had to strikethrough everything i had the opportunity to strikethrough. kaya sa lahat ng hindi makaintindi sa akin sa paminsan minsan, paumanhin.
