That prompts me to make the following excuse for my use or abuse of Peirce's terms, as the case may be. Peirce has always been one of my chief resources in the quest to understand how logic and math and science work. There is much to be gained by getting his distinctive ideas across to active practitioners in those fields. In doing that I find it better to tweak the words a bit, if that's what it takes to preserve the idea, than to hallow the words at the risk of losing the idea. As far as semiotics by any name goes, what seems to work best without too much clanging in modern ears is parsing “semiotics” in line with words like “mathematics” and “cybernetics”, plus we can now use the singular form as the adjective “semiotic”.
