If Grice became famous for his joint "defense of a dogma" with Strawson, there's much of an attack of a slogan,
Witters's "meaning = use"
in "Prolegomena". I think it all starts on p. 2 of his "Way of Words", then:
Grice writes:
"Indeed, the precept that one
should be careful NOT to confuse
meaning and use is perhaps on the
way towards being as handy
a philosophical vade-mecum as once
was the precept that one should be
careful to identify them."
!
Trust Grice to give a round touch to a better slogan!
