@PhilosophyExp Question: All M are P; All the S are M; Therefore, some S are P. Valid/invalid? And does the answer depend on the word "the"?

@PhilosophyExp Is there a problem of colloquial vs. technical use of language. "the" implies that some exist, colloquially, no?
@mcorliss It's contested anyway - even without "the" added. Basically, it's a bit of a cheat! :)

@PhilosophyExp Oh good, glad to know my righteous indignation is in good company :) Thanks, I enjoy the quizzes and learned something new. -
@mcorliss I put the quiz in front of some pro philosophers. A number of them also protested. And with good reason. Bit of a judgement call
