Adrian, are you talkin' ta me?
Adrian Martin posted:<< (But I could have done without the 'thinking like
Bush' smear: I tend to associate Bush with crimes against language, not any
attempt to straighten out
corrupted meanings.) >>
David Sterritt replies: I never implied any smear--what I did was directly
quote your words, which I will here paste again from your post of a few days
ago:
<<it is only the corruption of language in its social use - particularly, let
us be clear, in the USA! - which has scrambled these terms>>
Maybe somebody else made a "`thinking like Bush' smear" but it wasn't me--or
my Oxford-educated girlfriend, whom I only mentioned to rebut the "in the USA"
smear!!!
