Tag, You're It!
August 16, 2004

Since the National Review article, I've decided to embrace the title of "playful philosopher" for what it's worth.

On the subject of Talking, Slang, the English Language, and all points in between, I've enlisted (or he's enlisted me, it's all debatable) the help of grad-student, English connoisseur, and fellow member of the Conservative Brotherhood, Avery Tooley for a tag-team effort. Avery has a great grasp of the English language and a slightly different background than myself. Who knows how long it will last (probably until we have both talked ourselves into a tizzy), and I don't expect we'll agree on everything (since he is after all, a prescriptivist), but it should be fun and thought-provoking nonetheless.


He responds.
