Useful Information From The Mission Critical Website

What I found useful about the Mission Critical website was that it talked about how statements and other forms of sentences can be broken down to mean ambiguous things. For example, a person can say "I like good food." This can mean more than one thing: all food is good, everything I like to eat is good, etc. The website also talks about how some sentences can be worded differently but can also mean the same thing. An example would be "Some apples are red" or "some red things are apples." Also in regards to vague and ambiguous sentences, I learned that vague sentences can be elaborated more on while ambiguous sentences can have more than one interpretation. Vague sentences are not clear in context and ambiguous sentences can have at least two specific meanings. Overall, I felt that this website presented most of the concepts we have been reading in our texts and provides good examples.
