"If I hate a theory term": my problem is I can't remember *any theory
terms. Most of it sails straight through the grey matter. I find
myself regurgitating bits of it later, as if it got there by osmosis.
I suppose this list disassembles into three parts: theory, practice
and bonding. There are only two people on this list - so far - who I
think balance theory and practice. One person who's all theory. I
suppose I fall into the practice bit, but I like to listen to theory
and I pick up the odd bit here or there. Short words and paragraphs
are welcome. Paratactic exegis is preferable to the Derridian style of
exegetical dialectics. Hang on, I've just remembered some theory
terms.
OK, your starter for 10: WTF is "dialectics" when it's at home? And do
I serve it tea and biscuits?
