Modificated Ockham

I wrote extensively on margins of Chapman, e.g p. 104 -- "how can you _modify_ a razor?"

Yet Grice does have it: modified Occam's razor.

So of course he meant APPLICATION of Occam's razor. But he _had_ to be jocular.

Oddly when I did Ockham in Latin it brougt tears to my eyes!

Reading such paleo-Griceanisms which I have discussed elsewhere, such as

Risus significat laetitiam interiorem

or tears signify sorrow

or

a 'stone' signifies wine (when placed outside a pub). "Significat naturaliter vinum", Gr..., I mean, Ockham writes!

Ockham could not have used "Sensa" ("Senses are not to be multipled beyond necessity") because he didn't need it! (The word 'sensum', I mean -- nor its obscure 'sense'). Entia are more than enough!
