Or, when we click on view, what happens is the vanishing of our friends commented inadvertently. And others.
SEMANTIC CONSTRAINTS is a constraint concerning the meaning of the word difference between the communicator and the communicant. For example, when we write the word "shred" can there be a discrepancy between the meaning of that word Banjar (South Kalimantan) to interpret as a "torn", and not the Banjar (for example, the Central Java) which interpreted as "Village Chief Secretary". Another example, the word "moon" can mean the object in the sky, the unit's name can also be interpreted calendar, January, February, and etc. Semantic constraints are also related to connotative word meaning (metaphor, refining the words, etc.) and denotative (meaning of words according to dictionary).

Similarly, the word "Umor" meaningful "to get along" (denotative) and means "have sex" (connotative).

In an area in our country of certain taboo words spoken, while in other areas is common.
