I'd take words seriously for the simple reason that they are an expressio= n of concepts with which we reason. I hope that this line of questioning is not indicative of the future behind us: treating the notion of GRAMMAR lightly (as in replacing grammar with look-up tables), which is a sign of= a failure to distinguish between the concepts of PARTICULAR and GENERAL (contexuality does not rationalize confusing GENERAL with PARTICULARS). T= he distinction between GENERAL and PARTICULAR is an inheritance that I am mo= st proud of and thankful for. Thank you, posina [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
