Well, I certainly got the impression that the terms "description" and "quantifier" had specific and contrasting meanings to you, which I for one was missing out on. And later on you introduce the term "cardinal" in contrast to "quantifier". Perhaps it's time for some more definitions of terminology. (Of course, which is which in English only matters in terms of giving intelligible examples. What really matters is what these terms mean, as concepts in symbolic logic.) mu'o mi'e .i,n.
