摘要
Call a term 'pseudo-singular' if it is syntactically singular but semantically plural. 'The pair who wrote Principia' is a good example, standing as it does for the two individuals, Whitehead and Russell. In this journal (2021), Eric Snyder and Stewart Shapiro launched an attack on the idea, calling it 'linguistically and logically untenable.' In this reply we rebut every one of their criticisms.
