Grelling's Paradox is the paradox which results from considering whether heterologicality, the word-property which a designator has when and only when the designator does not bear the word-property it designates, is had by "heterologicality".

way too trippy for me at 10 a.m.

Grelling's Headache is the headache you could get from pondering that one before the coffee kicks in. Grelling's Demise is what happened when Grelling, having failed to enunciate his Paradox in a fashion until now clearly distinguishable from the better-known Liar's Paradox and Russell's Paradox, died like everybody else, not knowing the end of his own story.

whether heterologicality is heterological? why, of course it might be! i might have to redo that sentence to figure out what it means.

can an editor cut that one sentence into two in order to make it clearer what this person is trying to say? i would do that, if i were the queen of sheba.

Well, they're rather fond of the long sentence in these parts (as is our shmizla, let's admit it), but in this case it's sorta moot, as the sentence is from a quoted excerpt of a paper.

she is she is! but she tries (in vain at times) not to put the definition of an item in the same sentence with the way this item gets into paradoxes... especially when the item is called anything like "heterologicality"... :)

ah, yes... prob'bly a good idea

say, speaking of the shmizz, what is that icon she's using here?
