I think multiple meaning of words exist mainly due to the perspective of people that originally spoke other languages adapting to the English language and carrying over some of their old spellings/meanings. I would also consider that the English language is, to my knowledge, considered the hardest language to learn due to this and I wonder if it was kept confusing intentionally for some to take advantage of other's lack of understanding or to provide "loopholes" to their own shifting ideals and perspectives. Perhaps having the ability to always try to convince someone they took what you said out of context due to the multiple definitions and spelling of words provides a layer of "safety" to those that don't speak honestly. On the contrary, it can allow for some profound knowledge to be wrapped in a subtle package that reveals itself over time. I for one love wordplay and perhaps if English wasn't my birth language I wouldn't have had as many tools to use to convey meaning.

Interesting possibilities. Also more optimistic than I tend to be about such things, though I scorn labels and would not accept such things as Conspiracy Theorist, a bit of research on the subject leads me to something similar to what you said about confusion, only for a more insidious and tyrannical reasoning. First there is law, and there is an entirely other language devoted to that. When Bill Clinton said at his famous trial, it depends on which definition of "is" is being used, well the reason for that is there are nine different definitions of the word is in law. Also the word must in law means may or may not...not quite what we were taught. Also I tend to think about how once upon a time the Bible wasn't allowed into the hands of the common man, only priests and scribes could read it. The Bible is a book of law itself that's still used in that way to this day. (Hell is a debtor's prison under the court of eschequer according to Black's Law dictionary-- not an esoteric afterlife but a physical place where they once threw people in jail for unfulfillment of debts) Now of course everyone can own a bible, so what changed? They now deem us fit to read the book? Or perhaps they altered the meaning of the words, made doctrines out of it, that distorted it so much that it no longer matters whether we have it or not, since we don't comprehend a word of it. Of course when you're not talking in an official capacity, say amongst friends, then words mean exactly what you agree on them to mean. But think about this one- spell. Spelling. Isn't it interesting that the same word used for casting magical incantations is used in how we put letters together? Letters which are really just symbols.

With some good spelling we can weave illusions and control narratives and perspectives eh? :) Makes you wonder.
