A Harangue About Slang
26th October 2013
John Derbyshire, Patron Saint of Dyspepsia, waxes choleric.
Following up last week’s rant about cant, kindly permit me a harangue about slang and the affliction of bad diction. Got that? Last week, the empty, insincere things we say; this week, the sloppy, lazy way we say them.
Nobody does it better. That’s why it’s so important to SUPPORT JOHN DERBYSHIRE. (See the top of the column to the right.)
