Too difficult for students of philosophy

[Albertosaurus Rex]

This page has extensive [Stuart Rachels does not approve this word] information about the changes between the fifth and sixth editions. The page numbers for each word are given, so it's fairly easy to track the replacements down.

The phrase "Alas! Alack!" was used as an example of someone expressing an emotion (In response to the stock market going down.) This was part of a section describing the emotivistic viewpoint, in which ethical statements are regarded as emotive expressions in disguise, instead of fact-stating language.

Just how low has people's vocabulary gotten when perfectly commonplace words like "shabby" and "latter" are on this list? Also consider the word "nonarbitrary". If you know what "arbitrary" means - and Rachels assumes that you do, since "arbitrary" isn't on this list - you have to be able to work out what "nonarbitrary" means. Gaaaah.
