19. Language / A. Nature of Meaning / 6. Meaning as Use

14999	Prior to conventions, not all green things were green? [Sider]
	Full Idea: It is absurd to say that 'before we introduced our conventions, not all green things were green'.
	From: Theodore Sider (Writing the Book of the World [2011], 06.5)
	A reaction: Well… Different cultures label the colours of the rainbow differently, and many of them omit orange. I suspect the blue/green borderline has shifted.
