Sorry, SR, but Drey doesn’t exhibit the sort of command of the language to use that word so deftly. For someone who claims to be a university professor, her posts are quite pedestrian, and not eloquent in the least.
Now, your posts read like those of a university educated person. Hers? Not even close.
Windy, have you talked to any college professors lately. She actually sounds fairly sharp compared to some I have ran into lately. Heck even the Won was an adjunct professor, or at least so he claims.
I appreciate the kind words, but there is a fixation here that troubles me. We do want to be accurate in the charges we make, do we not? If there are defects in grammar, punctuation, style, etc., fine. This isn’t a law review. I was on law review, and even there, though I may have disagreed with the substance of a piece, I never found it beneficial to hammer the piece for errors that weren’t there. It only weakens the force of the criticism of the true errors. And even if you think she merely stumbled into the correct use of the term, it is still correct, and doesn’t warrant our attention. I don’t get this.
