Things have been horribly busy -- it's the last week of classes -- but I will return to Chomsky-bashing and other posting this weekend, in the blessed three-day gap between teaching and testing.

I will also answer Beth's objections in the one and only comment to my last Chomsky post. I find them unpersuasive, but am glad to meet a Chomsky fan who is not a lout or a troll like the other three that have written in so far.

In the mean time -- time I really should be devoting to putting together final exams -- I will post a short item or two for my loyal readers, whoever they are.
