Like I said: Those terms will need refining, and all you've done is add "grammatical" and "semantic" to differentiate the cases.

- dragonwriter 11y ago> Those terms will need refining But they won't. We've used "plural" and "singular" fine in referring to the grammatical features of verb tenses and the nouns/pronouns they agree with just fine for centuries, despite the fact that grammatical number of "we", "they", and especially "you" has often -- for longer than we've even had formalized descriptions of English grammar -- disagreed with semantic number. There's nothing new here to necessitate "refining" anything.
