The truth about every expression of language that can be known
to be true on the basis of its meaning expressed in language is
that a lack of connection simply means untrue.

Does that really mean something? If the significance of the lack of

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
that the term {Bachelor} was defined in terms of
(~Married + Adult + Male).

 It is not a good idea to lie about other people.
 When reqding Quine, you should ask yourself why your presentation
is much less convincing than Quine's.
 

It might be true that {true on the basis of meaning} can
have ambiguous cases. It does not seem to be the case that
{True on the basis of meaning expressed in language}.
can have ambiguous cases. This latter is merely a mapping
between finite strings.
