Always bemused and not a little confused that anyone (most notably, Americans) still spend so much time and energy on analytical philosophy [and its Quine-y assertions about semantics] so many decades after its sort of formal semantics collapsed as a useful way of analyzing natural language.

Linguistics (not to mention, comp lit or continental philosophy) departments have an order of magnitude more to say about meaning in natural language and have had for... decades and decades.

I just don't get it.
