[08:41:19] <inariksit> daherb: yeah it's that I drop from the irc and don't rejoin automatically because I'm not authenticated
[08:41:42] <inariksit> and I'm so used to this channel being dead that not seeing action doesn't make me realise I'm not on it :-P
[11:07:29] <inariksit> I started appreciating the difference between DetCN (DetQuant … …) (AdjCN (AdjOrd (OrdSuperl …)) and DetCN (DetQuantOrd … … (OrdSuperl …))
[11:08:31] <inariksit> it's like the same idea as in restrictive vs. appositive relative clauses; on their own it's no differnce, but if we do like "biggest cat I've ever seen", is the cat biggest and I've seen it, or biggest of the set that I've seen
[11:08:53] <inariksit> not that this ambiguity would arise in any real life scenario that I can think of, but at least GF is prepared for it :-P
[11:50:55] <daherb> from a semantics point of view it could make sense i guess
[11:51:24] <daherb> especially if you look at it from a set-theoretic point of view like you kind of did
[12:19:12] <inariksit> yeah, I'm not surprised that the RGL contains a distinction which has more use in set theory than in real life :-D
