Outside my window...
well
outside the window I am currently looking out of - because it's not actually my window
The window I'm currently looking out of
belongs to someone else
in that
I don't own this particular window
so it's not my window
not my window I'm looking out of
but I do own some windows along with my wife
I don't mean that I own my wife
I mean my wife and I own some windows ourselves
they're in the house we have lived in for 26 years
but they're not the windows I'm currently looking out of
anyway...
(Sigh)...
if I don't own the windows I'm currently looking out of
what are we saying when we say "Out of my window?"
What are we talking about when we say window?
There are many windows
What window are we talking about?
Are we talking about an opening in a wall
or roof
or building
or vehicle perhaps
that is
maybe something that has been fitted into this opening
perhaps made of glass
or perspex
something held in a frame
to let light in
or air
or to allow people to see out
or to see in?
what do we mean?
do we mean
an opportunity to see or understand something
usually something we can't see like
"a window to see in and understand the workings of the local council"
Can anyone ever see in or understand the actual workings of a local council?
Or are we talking
a period of unbooked time in a diary, schedule, or similar
Like
"I have a short window over lunch in which I could see you"?
or
do you mean something like a weather window
"We'd better get a move on before this gorgeous weather window closes"?
a radio window is similar due to atmospheric or locational restrictions
"we'd better wrap this up now before the radio window closes"?
Or do we mean
"Microsoft Windows"?
or...
in computing
the area of a display that may be manipulated
separately from the rest of the display area on your screen
you know
different files can be displayed simultaneously in different overlapping "windows"?
...and then when you say outside..?
