Aristotelian Logic
In the first paragraph, the author describes his reasoning and basis for his set of logic. He describes that he avoids using the phrase can be rewritten as because there are so many phrases or words that can be similar but different due to the multiple meanings of the same words in our English language. One of the rules that I use that he states in his piece is whether the claim is universal or particular or affirmative or negative. For example, when I hear someone describe something different than the way I would, I think whether it is a one particular case or it is a universal thing. Also, I decide whether it is a good or negative thing that they are stating.

I found this reading to be very confusing and did not understand the majority of it. I like your interpretation of what the author is saying. The contradiction portion that I wrote about is very similar to what you are writing about. The whole understanding that words can have multiple meanings so we must be careful how we use them in case we are butchering their meaning is so similar to the concept that I read. I like your personal example and find myself wondering the same. It is a complex subject and can cause confusion. Good job on your response!
