Seems to be little that distinguishes this from ordinary language philosophy, other than that is written much better. Bacchiad (talk) 20:49, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
The first paragraph currently says
I think the second example in this sentence should be deleted. While it might be an example of ordinary English when spoken by a non-biologist, it would be an example of technical English when spoken by a biologist (distinguishing the class Aves from the class Insecta.) if it is removed, the remaining example in the sentence will be sufficient to make the point.

Does anyone agree? Let's merge it with Ordinary Language Philosophy? OhWhyNot (talk) 04:16, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Or maybe get rid of it at all, since it's not even a linguistic category as far as I know. Could anyone find me a source that gives it the same meaning as the philosophical term? Or a lingustics professor using this at all? Does anyone see the only category on the article is for "Philosophy" and this is totally disputed. Maybe have "ordinary language" redirect to "ordinary language philosophy"? OhWhyNot (talk) 05:01, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Left the reasons in the log.
Wait, I changed it, and answered back, but that wasn't me... OhWhyNot (talk) 09:13, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
