Hey, look at you John!  Pullin' apart that funny piece of jargon 
I made up on the spot.  Nice work.

Did you like how, when I wrote that bit, I used a bunch of 
fancy-shmancy words for the one, and then used simple 
words in the parenthetical explanation, and then used 
simple words for the other, with fancy-schmancy junk in 
the parenthetical as the "explanation"?

"I hope I've been a little more articulate and forthcoming 
about what the difference is between the external 
manifestation of linguistic tokenings (i.e. 'the words one 
uses') and what the words mean (i.e. 'the assumptions 
undergirding theoretical positions')."
 
Heh--aren't I a card?

Matt
