For the purposes of the point I'm making here, let's assume that I *don't* 
have this ability.  That's what I need to make my point.  From this 
inability of mine, I infer that I am also unable to distinguish the 
intended meaning of "formal system" from an unintended meaning of "formal 
system."  Do you disagree with this inference?  Or do you claim that you 
have some sort of mystical ability to distinguish "standard" formal 
systems from "nonstandard" formal systems?
