The Subject of Semiotics

This is an interesting reading but some may find it to be obvious that signs and symbols do mean different things to different people. What I found interesting was that even the same word in the same language when spoken by a different person can mean something else. This subject may be easier to understand for a person who speaks different languages, comes from a different culture or religion. They can compare and contrast their experience with words and symbols. When I started to learn French it was quite amazing to learn that some of the words sound the same and mean the same thing. For example, positve is positif in french.
