what do these words mean to you?
what do these words mean to me?

(yes, I'm asking entirely serious questions here for a change.)

are the meanings the same? similar? different?
do they change over time?

or are words fixed and reliable units
that we can trust to convey our general intentions and meanings?

I don't know.

do you?
