That's a really interesting suggestion. Ireland might also be a useful outpost for this kind of thing?

Mind and Language published an exchange between Rachel Goodman and me. I learned a lot from doing this and Rachel's comments are great. Not so sure about my attempted responses, but maybe the distinction between identity and 'fregentity' will catch on? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14680017...

The Pensions Office just responded to an email I sent exactly two years ago. Even sillier, some payment I owe gathered compound interest in the meantime.
