Charles Sanders Peirce: A proposition is vague 
when there are possible states of things 
concerning which it is intrinsically uncertain 
whether, had they been contemplated by the 
speaker, he would have regarded them as 
excluded or allowed by the proposition. By 
intrinsically uncertain we mean not uncertain in 
consequence of any ignorance of the interpreter, 
but because the speaker’s habits of language 
were indeterminate.

Charles Sanders Peirce: A proposition is vague when there are possible states of things concerning which it is intrinsically uncertain whether, had they been contemplated by the speaker, he would have regarded them as excluded or allowed by the proposition. By intrinsically uncertain we mean not uncertain in consequence of any ignorance of the interpreter, but because the speaker’s habits of language were indeterminate.
