[edit] Not English

However, it is not possible to express this inference in the traditional system, because the manner we
should represent the first term in the classical subject-predicate form, ensures that the second term 
our predicate will be "X is feared by every mouse"

This isn't English - what is it supposed to mean? garik 11:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I will edit the article to explain to the non-logician. However, this very interesting stub badly needs references. Will the author please provide them? Rick Norwood 14:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not so concerned about making it clearer to the non-logician - I think this would follow to some extent from making it clearer to English speakers. The syntax is so peculiar I can only assume it wasn't written by a native speaker, or that there are words missing. But yes, I suppose it could be made easier for non-logicians too. garik 14:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
And I see you've done a good job of it:) garik 15:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
