		Wilkins' language has words for Judaism, Christianity, Islam; everything else is under the category of paganism and false gods, and I thought that the introduction of words for inches and feet was another case like that one.

		The words of the analytical language created by John Wilkins are not mere arbitrary symbols; each letter in them has a meaning, like those from the Holy Writ had for the Cabbalists.

	Alex Wright : John Wilkins Revisited (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Matt Webb has done some useful sleuthing into John Wilkins, long since fated to go down as the butt of Borges' famous joke.
		I've been doing some research into Wilkins as well (for the book I've been writing), and have been surprised to learn that the historical Wilkins bears almost no resemblance to the literary punching bag Borges props up in his essay.
		In truth, Wilkins was hardly an advocate of "arbitrary" classification; he was an empiricist, who rejected top-down epistemologies in favor of direct observation and experimentation.
