SUO: Simple Suggestion Re: Supreme Supertype
¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤
Could I just make a simple suggestion -- I heard that! --
I think that it is kind of a bad idea, generally speaking,
to use a singular noun phrase for a predicate. I realize
that it probably came about through the use of verb forms
like "is an entity", "is an object", "is a thing", & so on,
but the use of this idiom creates a type of ambiguity that
even I have not been able to learn to love, since it keeps
us from using the nouns in their ordinary ways -- at least,
we could stick to using plurals like "entities", "objects",
"things", and so on, in the way that is ordinarily used to
name classes.
