Question
-In addition to animals people talk to a variety of things that cannot respond back in the way our communication with them suggests we expect to hear. Some of these might include the TV, deceased relatives, broken down vehicles, misbehaving pencil sharpeners etc. Consider this: It is acceptable for me to talk to my deceased mother, but unacceptable for me to talk to Abraham Lincoln. It is acceptable for me to talk to my dog. It is acceptable for me to talk to my TV. It is not acceptable to say "aren't you cute" to a dog on TV, though I can talk to the TV and dogs separately. I can yell at the wind for blowing to harshly, but I cannot talk to it. Pick one of the above listed oddities and discuss why you believe this is the case.
