 Re: The misued word....absolute
Hello PLJ
I'd agree that one speaker may regard as relative a truth that another speaker regards as absolute. But perhaps there are some truths that all speakers would regard as absolute truths, e.g. tautologies ("all points on the surface of a sphere are an equal distance from its centre", "2+2=4", etc.).
I have to admit, I don't quite follow your point about the "end-ness" of "absolute" – sorry!
