| Query: |
I am interested in learning the history of the phrase 'I see' used to
mean 'I understand'. Any information or facts related to this would be very much appreciated. Please respond if you have any linguistic or historical insight related to this question, or even if you have ideas on how I might research this information myself. (I have no linguistic background, so no suggestions or ideas are too obvious- any and all responses will be most welcome.) Thank you in advance. - Robert Angelino Director of Software Development High Tower Software Inc. (949) 852-2233 |
