_Philosophical Investigations_ paragraph 98

bq. [I]t is clear that every sentence in our language ‘is in order as it is’.

From the _Palo Alto Daily News_ as quoted by “Geoff Pullum”:http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001973.html.

bq. Generating $66 million in sales revenue last year, Kopacz estimates that a larger dealership with a freeway billboard could generate $130 to $140 million in sales.

I’m actually in sympathy with what Wittgenstein is doing in paragraphs 98ff, namely opposing Frege/Sider style nihilism about vagueness, but he makes a bit of a meal of his statement of the position. (Which I guess helps to prove the point.) Whatever else we may say about sentences with “stunningly inept modifiers” like this one, they are not “in order as they are”. They aren’t truth-valueless, but that’s hardly the only way to be out of order.
