“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.” -- Neil Gaiman.
I am skeptical about the story about Plato on his deathbed correcting the female flautist with regard to the rhythm of the song. I have danced enough to know that 90% of the time the female follower knows the rhythm while the male leads are going "Uh...I can't hear the beat."
"I have just finished Vol. I of Henry James's letters. An interesting man tho' a dreadful prig: but he did appreciate Stevenson. A phantasmal man, who had never known God or earth or war, never done a day's compelled work, never had to earn a living, had no home & no duties."-CSL
"Revelation is a book of the NT. It is not an alien oddity tacked on to the end of the Bible. It deals with the same issues & battles that the rest of the New Testament deals with. It should be read in the light of Paul’s letters, Acts, and, yes, the Gospel of John." -- Leithart.
In the driver training manual I'm currently writing, I'm required by the state to discuss "changes in driving technique." What are some recent changes in driving technique? Surely not pumping your ABS brakes isn't news. All I can think of is hands at 9 and 3 instead of 10 and 2.

À chacun son goût, I suppose. I want a biography to tell me what happened in the person's life and perhaps provide explanations of -- or suggestions about-- what happened (why did she...?). But I don't want a biography to draw moral, theological, or life lessons.
And stop changing the melodies, too. You're not improving the songs. You're only making it harder for older people in the congregation to sing them (and irritating them in the process).

Biography I recently read describes biographee meeting her "big-nosed editor." How did that make it into print? Would the author refer to her subject as the "gap-toothed author"?

I would have answered that it is not grammatical. I have no problem with the grammar involved in placing Carol at the beginning so that the structure is object-subject-verb. But the "and" in the middle of the sentence sets up a compound predicate. Although "Carol I" isn't 1/
Is the sentence below grammatical? "Carol I knew from high school and liked her a great deal."
@DrJordanBCooper There are some fascinating pile-ons going on in Owen Strachan's mentions because he seems to be critiquing manosphere language. Half of them are people saying no one uses that language, and the other half actually using it. Amazing.
This man was incapable of writing an unenjoyable sentence.
There are things said which are mistaken, more that are irresponsible, others harmful, still others unfaithful. Managing all four at once is a significant achievement. This is desperately wrong and I hope he corrects it.
“There’s no such thing as PTSD. There’s no such thing as OCD. There’s no such thing as ADHD.” — John MacArthur
I blame the Biblical Counselling movement, somewhat, for giving the impression that pastors are omnicompetent to address all manner of issues of mental health. (I know there is a bit more nuance in the way the movement talks now, but in the early days, not so much...)
Hard to describe how disgusted and angry I am at these comments. I attended a church highly influenced by MacArthur, and while there were good people there, they did embrace the error that medication is sinful or wrong.
“There’s no such thing as PTSD. There’s no such thing as OCD. There’s no such thing as ADHD.” — John MacArthur
For a description of what it's actually like to live with OCD, see here: plough.com/en/topics/fait…
OCD is not the result of sin (except Adam’s, in the most general sense) or trauma or past experience or emotional scars. It’s a disorder of neurology with a genetic basis.
I think multiple things can be (and are) true at the same time: 1) We live in an age that has turned virtually everything into a medical issue. This is in part due to unbiblical philosophical reasons, and in part due to the money-making apparatus of the pharmaceutical industry.…
etc. includes The Simpsons.
That Peter Leithart's two-volume commentary on Revelation is not on this list is a crime. It is phenomenal. Can't stop reading. Easily the best modern commentary I've ever read. It is attuned to everything: Theology, liturgy, lexicology, history, etc. thegospelcoalition.org/recommendation…
@prof_tom_ward @GKCdaily Yeah it’s bringing shame on him and hindering the ability of his work to bring people to Christ. It’s what I would expect someone who hated Chesterton to do.
@John_Barach @CharlesSlastone John, I just sent you a DM.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
@tkdylan I love Chesterton and I hate antisemitism 🤷♀️
@John_Barach Yeah I can’t think of anything. Parallel parking by turning around, rather than using your mirrors, doesn’t sound like a good idea. Just getting new drivers to not rely on cameras would be an accomplishment, I think.
The responses to this are insane--about an equal division between people saying no one uses that language and accounts actually using that language. Many are accusing Owen Strachan of wokeness simply for countersignaling the far right. Is the new right this insecure?
Christian women are not birthing machines. And children born to Christians are not widgets on a "Beat Islam or Secularism" assembly line.
Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on the Road
@John_Barach I'm reaching back 20+ years to my linguistics training here, so I hope I'm making sense. I don't think you're wrong in calling them active, but a more modern understanding based on comparative linguistics would avoid that distinction with intransitive verbs.
@John_Barach And frankly, the traditional distinction is probably best for non-linguists. Things start to get very murky as you dig in further :)
@John_Barach For instance, Garner says "Only transitive verbs are said to have voice" in his Chicago Guide to Grammar (p. 90), reflecting the more modern view.
@John_Barach Verb forms in Indo-European languages unmarked for voice have traditionally all been referred to as "active", but the modern understanding of morphosyntactic alignment (i.e. nominative-accusative vs. ergative-absolutive) has caused this to fall out of favor.
@Brian_Sauve It all depends on the difficulty of the text. I usually spend between 10-20 hours on a sermon: research, writing, editing, reading it over. Spending 30-40 hours on one sermon would be a lot of time spent in the office.
