Edwina, List,
This is in response to your message to the List today as well as your
addendum to that message. For now I mainly have just a few questions:
You are no doubt aware of Peirce's insistence on a rigorous ethics of
terminology. Are you suggesting that he is incorrect in his insistence

Jon,
To begin, I'll quote a highly respected authority about arguments from
authority. The following passage about authority comes from Wikiquote, a
source that is widely considered an authoritative source of information:

Dear Claudio,

six types of token involves a tone/mark of a particular kind.
