What is a *formal language* to you? Which one are you refering to ? And what is the interest in describing terms? What impact does it have on formalizing common sense? How do you describe terms ?

Let me rephrase what you have said

*one formalizes common sense by using formal language to describe terms*

Do you think this is clear? None of the terms making this *definition* makes sense or exposes a clear thinking you seem to advocate. Received on Fri Feb 23 2007 - 18:02:32 CET
