[Arlo previously] Explain to me the difference (conceptually) between "2" and "two".
[Craig] None. The former is a numeral (common to many arithmetical systems);the latter a word in English. [Arlo] What's the difference between a "numeral" and a "word"? All words have definitions, as do numerals. All words are "symbols" for the concept they represent, as are numerals. I read your link, but it does not apply here. I am not arguing that we don't call this symbol "2" a number and this symbol "two" a textual word, but they are identical in needing language to explain/make sense of them.
