Locke
When Locke talks about the imperfection of words i got confused because i didnt really understand it. He says that words are used for recording and communicating our thoughts. He also says that it is easy to percieve what imperfection there is in language and how the very nature of words makes it almost unavoidable for many of them to be doubtful and uncertain in their significations. Locke belives that any words will serve for recording. He also believes that sounds are voluntary and indifferent signs of any ideas. I dont agree with that though. I believe that sounds can be both voluntary and involuntary.

I agree with that. I mean sounds can be involuntary as well as voluntary. For instance speech would be voluntary however something like a chair creaking is involuntary. Its not like the chair thought about making a noise or not.
