no words are by definition 0 words are by definition less than 32 words, so:
n+(-n)
if you insisted on the definition being linguistic id have to make that 1 word:
none.
or, depending on the situational neccessity of further clarification, 7 words:
none. not to be confused with nan. |

| i figured that eye contact can have a number of different functions: 1. assure the person who is talking that you are interested and listening to what they say 2. get someones attention by seeking eye contact and signal that you want to talk to them 3. address the person you are looking at to show t... |

| I have a relative that insists she experienced this very thing. I'm NOT making this up. She isn't the silly, superstitious type either. She was raised catholic, but never really took her religion seriously. I've never known her to lie, although she does exaggerate when she retells stories. I don't ... |

| With music at least, I might have just come up with a concise and quick way to phrase it. When an artist can deliver an idea so forcefully and viscerally that you both flush and blush simultaneously listening to it, almost as if there's a simultaneously beautiful and sadistic element that captivate... |
