Agreed on all counts. I wonder what Terrence thinks?

academics are the biggest sinners of all. Right on. I may have told the story here before long ago, but when I was teaching expository writing at a school near Vassar College I used to go into the Vassar library, go to the section where they shelved the Masters and Doctoral theses, pick an expository one (English, history, philosophy, etc., rather than biology, mathematics, etc.) off the shelves at random, open it at random, and copy two or three pages and have a wonderful example of lousy writing to take back to my students and ask them to a) try to understand it and b) rewrite it in good English. OT: a dare to anybody here: I dare you to diagram that sentence. I believe it is grammatically correct, but it will be a total bitch to diagram!
