Peirce did not say, "Every sentence in English contains a grammatical subject and a grammatical predicate"; he said, "Every proposition contains a Subject and a Predicate."
You're grasping at straws to salvage a lost cause.
The title of the manuscript is "Sundry Logical Conceptions," not "Sundry Grammatical Conceptions" (EP 2:267).
Irrelevant. Every disciplined notation of any kind -- language, logic, music, financial transactions... -- has a syntax (grammar) and a semantics (meaning). It's impossible to talk about any notation without considering both. And when you're relating two different notations, such as English and EGs, you have to be absolutely precise about the grammar and semantics of each one and their mappings to and from the other. Gary F lost patience with your style of pulling random phrases from different contexts to make a hopelessly confused attempt to defend the indefensible. My previous note is a definitive statement of the issues. Gary had some legitimate questions about the terminology. I'll explain the issues in my reply to Gary. Unless and until you study these notes in detail, continuing this thread is a total waste of time. John
