experience of language

The subtle tie between experience and language cannot be denied. The larger a vocabulary one has in a given subject, the more in-depth and intricate one can experience that subject. Vice-versa, the more experience one has with a certain subject the more language he will have to communicate it. Consider, for example, a food critic.

Be aware of the difference between bringing light to a difficult subject and complaining.
