Have you read William F. Buckley's Cancel Your Own Damn Subscription? I surprised myself by buying it but found it fascinating and compulsive reading. The reason I mention it is that he was so good at expressing himself - so competent & innovative with our language - that one had to listen, had to think, had to be inspired. MF, indeed. How pathetic the language skills of people who find that a compelling statement of opinion & description.

I have a class in the undergraduate building and that is all I hear all the time. :(
