Besides that, sometimes a person thinks "Why must I repeat a word which is a foreign word, which is a strange word to me? If the word suggests something, why must I not use a word which is in my language, which comes easy for me to repeat?" Now all these things which I have said are reasonable, and those who bring up that argument have also a reason in bringing it. They are right in saying it. Only, they could see from the other point of view also. And they could only see if they would try to see. That is what is called unlearning. In the first place, the great linguists of the day have found that the ancient languages which still exist have some psychological, mystical power in their words. If anyone asks me how I see modern languages, I will humbly say they are the corruptions of the ancient languages.
