 lasciare ogni speranza voi ch'entrate.
 
Try Dispromise That
 
Geary (to Walter O.):
 
 
"Take Palma and JL's last few posts --  I haven't the foggiest what the hell 
they're talking about. Will steer clear of that one, I promise you." 
 
Hell? (You say I've thinner skin, but I never understand  how people can 
overuse that word -- 'fog' sounds okay-er).
 
In any case, see if you can dispromise that  for
 
(i) It sure will be interesting to hear  your
    opinions on the foggiest  hell.
 
(ii) it's not _as_ forreign as you make us  sound!
 
(iii) The fact that A. Palma says "kg" and this everybody  will _understand_ 
it's Kurt Goedel is _his_ fault.
 
I don't think I follow you when you mention 'the language  of the street'. 
Surely philosophical lexicon is common-sense or colloquial  lexicon (it does 
not 
compare to 'shorted compressor' even if you try). 
 
I _think_ we are talking algebraics, and surely you have  an imagining 
whether it is UNimaginable (as Palma thinks it is) that 2 + 2 =  5.

Cheers,
 

JL
