The truth about every expression of language that can be known

that a lack of connection simply means untrue.

Does that really mean something? If the significance of the lack of
connection is restricted to sentences where the connection exists
then it seems that you are talking about nothing.

I had to redefine the analytic side of the analytic/synthetic
distinction because Quine convinced most everyone that this
distinction does not exist.

You cannot redefine side wihout redefining the other side and the
distinction itself. Is your redefinition equivalent to the one
at https://plato.stanford.edu/Entries/analytic-synthetic/ or did
you find out that that distincition is not the one that exists?

Quine got totally confused by synonymity. He never understood

(~Married + Adult + Male).

What you said (quoted above) about Quine is insulting and unjustified,

Every expression of (formal or natural language) that is

So what is wrong with Quines opinion that the truth of "A bachelor

If he said that then he would be saying that he has no
objection to the {Analytic/Synthetic} distinction. He is
famous for having an objection to this.

 What makes you thing he has no objection not involving batchelors to
the analytinc/synthetic distinction?
 

I only skimmed his paper. I don't have to even look at anything
that said besides his conclusion to know that it is wrong.
It is a tautology to say that expressions of language that
are true or false on the basis of their meaning are established
as true of false by a contiguous sequence of truth preserving
operations as truth-makers between (x or ~x) and the expressions
of language that make (x or ~x) true.
When anyone disagrees with the gist of this they are necessarily
incorrect.
