Comments on: The Glamour of Grammar http://mpidirect.com/the-glamour-of-grammar/ on our God-given ‘unalienable Rights … Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:27:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lawrence http://mpidirect.com/the-glamour-of-grammar/#comment-6769 Lawrence Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:27:10 +0000 http://mpidirect.com/?p=241#comment-6769 Maeve, Thank you for the compliment. I hardly think you need to "steal" any of my ideas on the glamour and beauty of grammar to enrich your treatment of the subject, and, if you did, why should I be upset rather than complimented? After all, every thought I have expressed in my limited writing on the subject is a restatement of what I have learned from the writings of others. Hurry up and finish your article on grammar. Maeve,

I began a post on the word "grammar" while I was still writing for DWT. I hope you won't think I'm stealing your ideas when I finally get around to finishing it! :-) Lawrence,

Beyond that, your comment is appreciated, as is the link you provided to a TED talk. I have been following TED from the beginning when they would offer a talk only once or twice a year. They have grown mightily since, and rightly so. Cheers Hi Kate,

I was visiting the 100 Resources for Thesis page (great theme by the way, isn't it?) and my eye was drawn to this post. It was the word 'glamour' that caught my attention. Just that day I had watched a fascinating TED talk from 2004 by Virginia Postrel on Glamour. If you're interested, I can highly recommend your taking the time to check it out. Go to http://www.ted.com/talks/virginia_postrel_on_glamour.html Best wishes with the blogging. Hi Lawrence
