Grice and the City of Eternal Truth

----

In fact this notion is so central that readers are invited to drop by to our blog, with Jones, entitled, "The City of Eternal Truth" at:

What is the City of Eternal Truth?

Note that 'the' is very important (cfr. "The Salt Lake City"). While the name of the blog is

"The City of Eternal Truth"

the web address is just

cityofeternaltruth

no 'the'. Sorry for the loose language!

----

In any case:

"I'm going to Salt Lake City for spring break".

It would be otiose to say,

"I'm going to the Salty Lake City for spring break".

Similarly, we say,

"Congress is otiose. One should burn it."

rather than:

"The Congress is otiose. One should burn it."

The 'the' is otiose, most of 'the' times.

So what IS the City.

God knows!
