Yes, descriptions was brilliant. But is 'the present king of france is bald' false becuase it deductively implies that there is at least one present king of france which is false; or is it neither true nor false because the presupposition (that there is at least one present king of france) is not met and so it is an abortive utterance that does not even get up of the ground???

I too have issues with pleasant banalities. But then I have just found out that I was terminated because my therapist got burnt out... I need to learn to take better care of them because this is becoming a recurring theme in my life.

Maybe the key is not to think of them as pleasant banalities, and instead think it as fulfulling the essential social function of making them feel like they are appreciated and are helping.

Sorry, just thinking aloud (sigh)
:-)
