I don't think I agree. I think there are things which can only be true of the subject, such as my experience of the world is not the same as yours.

Then you do agree. That was my second point.
-
Seems like a contradiction to me, though, I suppose it could be said that 'objectively' I have a 'subjective' experience that differs from you and others.
-
Yes, exactly. Critics of subjective truth are not criticising the claim that different things are true of different subjects - I like red wine, you don't - but that truth itself is subjective - Evolution is true for me but not for you. No, evolution is true. One of you is wrong.
-
Things which are true of the external world, and not dependent upon the subjective experience of others, are true objectively, is something I agree with. I am not a solopsist. Assuming this is what you mean?

This discussion of the meaning of "truth" mirrors the Sam Harris vs. JB Peterson debacle on youtube; you seem to be on Harris's side of the battlefield. I get what you're saying logically, but so long as terms get defined, still don't see major problems with the colloquial use.
