It's nice to know that I'm improving with age and education. :)Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714371500752756536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-85861840891877175232010-01-04T19:26:54.481-05:002010-01-04T19:26:54.481-05:00Your blog keeps getting better and better!

I'm not nearly as familiar with Emily Dickinson's works as I ought to be. <BR/><BR/>Persnickety is a great word too. It's very euphonious for one who likes a word to sound like what it means.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714371500752756536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-22830228027978969202007-10-27T13:03:00.000-04:002007-10-27T13:03:00.000-04:00I absolutely know what you mean.

It's a tough one to work into conversations in the check out line at the grocery store...<BR/><BR/>Emily Dickinson wrote that "language is a kind of romance in which we choose one word out from all the rest and then commit to it with an utterance."WGA Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320709129586221521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-48369299436086526562007-10-22T03:27:00.000-04:002007-10-22T03:27:00.000-04:00Thanks and good luck with words!Thanks and good luck with words!Farawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398906248989001269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-72790455767823932292007-10-18T10:12:00.000-04:002007-10-18T10:12:00.000-04:00Sure!

Although his books are largely a lot of hype about nothing - even other atheist philosophers seem rather embarrassed by his poor methods of reasoning.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714371500752756536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-12437601932225142032007-10-18T01:08:00.000-04:002007-10-18T01:08:00.000-04:00Hello Therese!Could I borrow your notes on 'clever...Hello Therese!<BR/>Could I borrow your notes on 'clever' for our language forum? I feel reluctant to do it without your permission - although all this blogging thing seems to be in the public domain...<BR/>And thanks for the Dawkins delusion video. The Dawkins book seems to be quite a sensation in your part of the world, as well as in Britain, judging by the BBC forum I sometimes visit. It doesn't seem so important in Russia though...<BR/>Best wishes<BR/>ElenaFarawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398906248989001269noreply@blogger.com
