when the earth moves again...

Lotsa noise doodos.
heheheheehehehe.
anyway the rag has an item this morning on a Victoria University doctoral student of linguistics.
Keiran File.
more noise?
his dissertation was about teaching sports stars to speak properly.
why?
did they grunt beforehand.
just joking kiddies.
I hope he told them that using interrogatives was apart from being banausic is an invalid mode of argument, deceitful and disrespectful.
forget all the crap about "tag endings".
that's just coronation street crap.

does it?
in fact it is pandering to those people who want to close off any further argument or questioning by using a nasty little linguistic trick.
isn't it?

nice little item in USA today.10 ways to stop your Xmas tree from catching fire!
dig it?

Uruguay.
Passed bill legalisisng cannabis yesterday.
good on them.

They don't trust the people.
hmmmmmmmmm.

look for the Arlo Guthrie LP.
Its a corker with neato tunes that anyone with a modicum of skill can learn to play for themselves quite readily.
You don't have to subscribe to the processed pap fed out on the airwaves.
You can do it yourself.
Homespun Tapes and Records have just released their Xmas catalogue so there is plenty of instructional material for the budding musician to cut their teeth on.
