[Smt-talk] One thought on Language Use

[Nicolas Meeùs]

My brother recently drew my attention to the following sentence by 
Pootwattle:

    The Virtual Academic(TM), says:
    The writing of narrative qua narrative chronicles the (re)invention
    of process.
    [Smedley, the Virtual Critic(TM), responds: Pootwattle's suggestive
    observation concerning the relationship between the writing of
    narrative qua narrative and the (re)invention of process can never
    supplant the work of the Frankfurt school.]

Wuddyathink of "to chronicle"?

(Frivolous)  For those who are interested in issues of prescriptivism and language change, I heartily recommend the blog "Language Log," run by my friend Mark Liberman (with the help of many very smart contributors).  Mark recently wrote the latest in a long series of posts on "verbing." (The name originates with Calvin's memorable remark to Hobbes: "verbing weirds language").
