Well, that's just an insult.

Symbolic logic doesn't improve statements; it does make them more concise. I assumed that people know what "p => q" means. It's shorter than writing "p implies q" or "p implies that q is true".

There's a reason people use symbolic logic. Usually, once you're familiar with the system, it makes analysis easier.

Quote:You like to pretend that you are in some way intellectual, but you don't even have the capacity to converse in plain prose. If you have an insufficient grasp of the concepts you are toying with that you don't know how to convey them in simple clear english what hope have you in any other medium. Grow up, what your doing is not big and its not cleaver, it just makes you look like a prat that is trying to pretend he is better than everybody else.

I assumed that people here were familiar with basic, elementary symbolic logic. If that's not true, I'm comfortable using conversational English. It just takes longer.

And for some reason, you've got a big chip on your shoulder. Apparently, since I used them fancy symbologies, I think I'm 'intellectual', that I'm doing something 'big and clever', and that I'm 'pretending I'm better than everybody else'.

Of course, I don't believe any of those things--of course, I'd like it if I were clever and intelligent--but your knee-jerk reaction that I think I'm better than everyone else because...I use basic logic symbols and terminology that high school freshmen should be familiar with?

I thought people here liked reason and logic. I had no idea there was so much ignorance here on the topic of logic.
