Helen,
Thank you for the generous restatement of a perfectly understandable original.
Frankly, I wouldn't have had the patience. It always amazes me just how bold
idiocy can be. One would think that an unfamiliar language might spark one's
curiosity to well... want to learn something rather than be offended at your
audacity of straying from a 5th grade vocabulary.
what excitement a few well placed words can create! i've found it interesting
that there is often a violent reaction to the language of cultural studies or
art criticism on some lists, but techno jargon is used with a badge of pride. i
can't imagine that if every time i heard some tech speak that i didn't
understand that i accused the authors of being elitist technocrats.
btw. sounds like an interesting show.
