- is it only moi who sees the irony of us attempting to discuss Tannen's
paper on the
pedantic argument of academic genres,
only to lapse into yet another argument about personal semantics?

HMMMM.

"Waves of hands, hesitations at street corners, someone dropping a

I do not know. Hence I keep my phrases hung like clothes in a cupboard,
waiting for someone to wear them. Thus waiting, thus speculating, making
this note and then another, I do not cling to life."
Virginia Woolf, The Waves, 1931.
