or you have made "perspective" the knower BINGO!!! From: Film-Philosophy Salon [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of bill harris Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 6:16 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Bill Harris's post 'Re: Last-minute rescue' , Hey amigo, Either the second phrase of your sentence is lacking a subject or you have made "perspective" the knower. Shit, I'm not even brave enough to do that! As for "pedantry", such a negative connotation is inappropriate in this particular; therefore I employ the -ism to suggest a belief that such behavior is altogether justifiable. "Jive", as most of us know, is a fast, Latin-based dance that suggests harmonious, yet distinct movement. "Jibe" is a nautical term that means , simply, to turn the stern into the wind. As a metaphor, I absolutely detest it. In sum, to talk of important matters one, occasionally, must enlist the aide of neologism. Think of Hugo. Think of Carroll. Think of using Prufrock as a verb. ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank, Michael <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 8:22 AM Subject: Re: Bill Harris's post 'Re: Last-minute rescue' >> Pedanticism is good, because truth lies in the details. You analyze film, I just watch them from a philosophical perspective. Therefore, it's incumbent that my larger perspective jive with the facts which are more at your disposal than mine. if indeed "pedanticism" [most people call it "pedantry," but hey, what the hell] is good, then maybe it wouldn't be too pedanticistic to point out that the word "jive" makes no sense in this context, and that perhaps even a larger perspective, no doubt concerned about much more important matters, should know the difference between "jive" and "jibe" --------------------- * * Film-Philosophy Email Discussion Salon.
