My answer is that exclamations, requests, commands, questions, etc,
even when grammatically sentences, are not declarations, and only
delarations need be either true or false.

So is this a declaration, sport?

If you can't figure that out for yourself, sport, you are too dim to
comment upon mathematics at all.

Whereas you prefer to comment on grammar instead.

When relevant, and among other things, yes.

Truth as a function of grammar?

Wheras Zick's only goal in commenting is one-ups-manship.

Kinda futile for me to engage in a duel of wits with an unarmed
opponent.
