Hello fellow listers, It's been a while I notice Peirce has some great nouns of his own pen, frequently used in ironic contexts. For instance, besides pragmaticism, I could mention projaculation in Evolutionary Love, or maybe the nychtemeron in the article on God's Reality (tough this is not really Peirce's, it's Gospel's). But I was wondering, and about adjectives? Do you notice preferred adjectives in Peirce's vocabulary? He uses First, Second and Third as adjectives, of course, but I mean real adjectives, or adjectival expressions. Ironic or not. Maybe other preferred expressions, for exclamations etc.? I assume there has been previous discussion on Peirce's style&language in the list, so excuse me if I am being tautological. But I think the recurrent expressions a writer uses reveal a lot, especially adjectives and other seemingly unimportant idiomatic expressions. And it's always fun to know what others regard as interesting in an admired writer's style. So, apart from the more deep stuff, if anyone is willing to share their preferred Peircean quotes, but in the sense above, I'm an interested reader. Best regards to everyone, cass.
