Every week, a few blog posts get me thinking and asking questions. I'm grateful for the prodding. Here's this week's selection:
Thanks to Chekov's Mistress for pointing me to Sentences, which got me thinking about reading fiction critically once again.
Thanks to Classical Bookworm for raising the question: should the OED be printed in the era of the electronic record? My personal vote is yes; I have the condensed OED, and there is nothing quite like browsing through a page of arcane words to whittle away a few minutes on a dull Sunday afternoon.
