- Citations:context Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search Citations of context * 1949: S. I. Hayakawa, Language in Thought and Action o Interpretation must be based, therefore, on the totality of contexts. If it were otherwise, we should not be able to account for the fact that even if we fail to use the right (customary) words in some situations, people can very frequently understand us. For example: A: Gosh, look at that second baseman go! B (looking): You mean the shortstop? A: Yes, that's what I mean. (p.61-2) o It is clear, then, that the ignoring of contexts in any act of interpretation is at best a stupid practice. At its worst, it can be a vicious practice. (p.62)

NOTE TO SELF: REVIST & LEARN [neglected articles collected during epic wiki-adventures]
- Hysterical strength describes displays of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal. It is a speculative term that is not recognized in medical academia; the concept has only a small body of anecdotal evidence to support it. Some[who?] state the concept that a person in general situations uses no more than an average of 33% of the muscle fibers available despite being in situations in which said person demands full strength—limited as such by the human brain. If the person uses 100% of their muscle fibers they could hypothetically perform unusual feats of strength.
