My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"All of this ignoring compounds into ignorance, and only education can balance American culture's bright red account and bring us out of embarrassment into intellectual slovency. The inheritors of American English, as well as our mystification of it, are students in our classrooms, and curricular study of language ought to consider not only language spoken by the few but that of the many, not only the language of polite or formal occasions but that of everyday living, not only language of which we are proud but that of which we are not, and not only language that we understand but, on the evidence of our persistent mystifications, that which we do not. If education is pursuit of truth, then study of "bad" American English is necessary to overtaking it, as truth by its nature isn't partial." ~Micheal Adams

Thailand is Not your Job

During the week, I wake up at 7:30 and just like I did throughout high school and college, I hit the snooze button. The first week, I did so confusedly. My alarm clock is a phone. The first sight upon...
