Semi-formal Laws of Logic

The messy, real-world application of formal logic where human language, context, and ambiguity crash into pure reason. These are the rules that govern arguments when you're not dealing with mathematical symbols but with actual sentences that mean slightly different things to different people. "A is A" becomes "A is A, unless A is being sarcastic, or metaphorical, or referencing a meme you don't understand." Semi-formal logic acknowledges that while the underlying laws are absolute, their application in human communication requires interpretation, charity, and occasionally, asking "What do you mean by that?"
Semi-formal Laws of Logic"Technically, when I said 'I'm literally dying of hunger,' I violated the Law of Identity because I'm not literally dying. But by Semi-formal Logic, you understood I was hangry and should have offered me a snack instead of correcting me."
