Description Fred Zemke 2005-07-14 23:39:12 UTC
2.1.2 Notations for judgments
You should note that there are sporadic judgments expressed 
in English, probably because the judgment occurs so rarely that it is 
not worth inventing a symbolism for.
Comment 1 Jerome Simeon 2005-07-19 16:29:41 UTC
Could you please be specific and indicate which judgment you are referring to.
Comment 2 Fred Zemke 2005-07-19 20:55:39 UTC
Doing an eyeball scan, I found two instances of informal premises:
3.3.3 "Handling dynamic errors", second premise.
4. "Expressions", "Static Analysis", first inference, second premise.
There might be a few others.  Like I said, this is an infrequent 
phenomenon and just needs to be documented that a few judgments are
given in English because the overhead of defining them formally is not
worth it.
