The expression found in the T-sentence; "P is true" is the same as P. The "...is true" is redundant.

‘snow is white’ is true just in case snow is white
This is exactly the correspondence view of truth, not an alternative to it. — Olivier5
The SEP is not a resource I use. It's written for students who need simple guidance on issues such as "How do we know that snow is white?". It is not a useful resource to assess philosophies. Also it cannot possibly be exhaustive, and tends to prioritize anglophone writers and traditions because of its origins - sometimes giving alot of room to super-obscure folks and none to some other much more famous philosopher who happened to write in Spanish, French or Portuguese. This is not a default but certainly it is a bias. — Olivier5
A T-sentence can be applied to any statement, and so is more general than correspondence. It has the advantage of being undeniable. Correspondence comes with its own difficulties. SO I'll go with T-sentences. — Banno
Fact is usually contrasted with Fiction — TheMadFool
This was a great post to read. Not that I keep track of who posts what but from what I can recall and associate with your screen name, probably my favorite. Funny it may sound sarcastic but it's really not. I will admit I'm not a fan of your if X is Y then Z posts. Then again, perhaps logic and morality are more intertwined than we like to think..
So. The obvious questions/responses
You claim to define therefore (more or less absolutely) know a real world which so begets the existence of an alternative. What makes one more real than the other? Your mere interpretation from your (and these are other people's words not mine) barely evolved senses or even simple presence? Ha. Doesn't a charlatan create a world that is real to those who observe and believe?
But for all intents and purposes, let's call this interconnected experience we call life that we can interact and respond either positively or negatively with one another, as "the real world". Was all science and definitions or laws of reality defined 500 years ago? No. What on Earth would make you think, especially in this age of degeneracy and strife, they are now? There will always be more to learn. The only idea of a fact comes from a hypothesis that has yet to be confronted by an opposing truth. — Outlander
What is fact and what is fiction? — FredStair
For me, for example, that there is another planet in our galaxy with humanoid creatures living on it is either a fact or it is not, regardless of whether we can discover the truth of the matter. — Janus
