This is a bald an expression of why "the word "mark" is a terrible
choice--someone who is unfamiliar with the details of Peirce's semeiotic
will almost certainly misunderstand and misuse it as signifying "an actual
material sign," thus incorrectly treating it as virtually synony

HR: I havenĀ“t thoroughly followed the discussion about "mark", because I
felt, that in this case the academic meaning (possibly a possible) differs
too much from from the common meaning, in which a mark is an actual
material sign, intended to be recognizable by anybody else.
