Jon: I don't know your e-mail, so I thought I would tell you here. While enjoying my morning coffee and cigarette I stumbled across the following.
"None of the above is said just by itself in any affirmation, but by the combination of these with one another an affirmation is produced. For every affirmation, it seems, is true or false; but of things said without any combination none is either true or false (e.g. 'man', 'white', 'runs', 'wins', ['proposition (1)']."
