figures of speech

Particularly interesting is the learning of new words that tell a great deal about the culture in which they are used. "Question" and "Problem" are the same word, for example, and locals have a clear understanding that this is because the two are essentially the same here. "Learn" and "Study" are the same word, which explains a great deal about their education program. And the word for "Freeze" doesn't actually apply very well to a statue-like lack of motion. Though that last one probably doesn't have many larger societal implications than a notable lack of tableaux and freeze tag.
