Buckminster Fuller spoke and wrote in a unique style and said it was
important to describe the world as accurately as possible. Fuller
often created long run-on sentences and used unusual compound words
(omniwell-informed, intertransformative, omni-interaccommodative,
omniself-regenerative) as well as terms he himself invented.

Fuller used the word Universe without the definite or indefinite
articles (the or a) and always capitalized the word. Fuller wrote that
"by Universe I mean: the aggregate of all humanity's consciously apprehended and communicated (to self or others) Experiences."

The words "down" and "up", according to Fuller, are awk= ward in that
they refer to a planar concept of direction inconsistent with human
experience. The words "in" and "out" should be used ins= tead, he
argued, because they better describe an object's relation to a
gravitational center, the Earth. "I suggest to audiences that they
say, 'I'm going "outstairs" and "instairs."'= ; At first that sounds
strange to them; They all laugh about it. But if they try saying in
and out for a few days in fun, they find themselves beginning to
realize that they are indeed going inward and outward in respect to
the center of Earth, which is our Spaceship Earth. And for the first
time they begin to feel real 'reality.'"

"World-around" is a term coined by Fuller to replace "worldw= ide". The
general belief in a flat Earth died out in classical antiquity, so
using "wide" is an anachronism when referring to the surface of t= he
Earth--a spheroidal surface has area and encloses a volume but has no
width. Fuller held that unthinking use of obsolete scientific ideas
detracts from and misleads intuition. Other neologisms collectively
invented by the Fuller family, according to Allegra Fuller Snyder, are
the terms "sunsight" and "sunclipse", replacing "s= unrise" and "sunset"
to overturn the geocentric bias of most pre-copernican celestial
mechanics.

Fuller also invented the word "livingry," as opposed to weaponry = (or
"killingry"), to mean that which is in support of all human, plan= t,
and Earth life. "The architectural profession--civil, naval,
aeronautical, and astronautical--has always been the place where the
most competent thinking is conducted regarding livingry, as opposed to
weaponry."
