Normally birds fly, but Tweety's wings have been clipped.
Suppose someone tells me, ``Normally elephants are monogamous''. On the
one hand, this assertion can be heard, understood, stored, believed or
challenged. In this it retains its unitary character. In its
application, however, it gets expanded into some construction involving
$ab$ and is used via a circumscription relative to a certain collection of
sentences. Its verification conditions may also be peculiar.
