There is no such thing as objectivity. Maybe in some purist scientific sense, but not in the ordinary human experience. Everything is subjective. The music I love others can't stand, the music others can't stand I may love. Same for books, art, other people.
Words are subjective. At least in interpretation. Words also have a spectrum of meaning that varies depending on who is speaking or writing them and who is receiving them.
I am amazed that people can talk to each other and be correctly understood. It does happen, but I think less often than people think it does.
