</html><description>The urban legend that Eskimos the Inuit have more words for snow than the rest of us nevertheless has intuitive appeal. A population might indeed develop a richer vocabulary to describe phenomena its members consider to be important. Consider how oenophiles make a show of describing the flavor of wines in ways that elude mere mortals. And it turns out the Sami, the natives inhabiting the arctic zones of the Scandinavian countries, do have hundreds of words for snow.  In keeping with underlying logic of the Eskimo snow words theory, as propaganda has become a more prevalent part of our culture, the terminology to describe it has also grown.</description><thumbnail_url>http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Screen-shot-2011-04-20-at-2.54.04-AM.png</thumbnail_url></oembed>
