What we will be focusing on here is its use in evaluating arguments; sorting the good from the bad. In everyday language, we sometimes use the word `argument' to talk about belligerent shouting matches. If you and a friend have an argument in this sense, things are not going well between the two of you. Logic is not concerned with such teeth-gnashing and hair-pulling. They are not arguments, in our sense; they are just disagreements.
