5. Non-Native Thinker
This commenter posts with the confidence of a professor in Comparitive
Literature, and though you may have been in a tenured, senile
professor’s class before, the Non-native Thinker makes less sense more
often. Charitably, you try to blur your eyes, hoping the grammar comes
into focus like a hidden image in a stereogram. No.

Word contests
February 12th, 2004
By the way, I meant to mention something specific about the Russert interview:
Russert: […] You gave the clear sense that this was an immediate
threat that must be dealt with.President Bush: I think, if I might remind you that in my language I
called it a grave and gathering threat, but I don’t want to get into
word contests.
“Word contests?” Do you mean, “debates” or perhaps “discussions?”
So, move over, “fuzzy math”—the new, patronizing way to get out of a
logical headlock is the phrase, “word contest.” You heard it here
(well, on NBC) first.
