Fun with Categories
Those of you who read regularly and extremely carefully* may have noticed the debut of a new category here at Statute of Frogs. Entitled “SNOOT,” it deals with the frequent (and frequently amusing) misuse of language that I encounter. The name comes from a David Foster Wallace essay (available in this book) in which he describes it as an acronym for “sprachgefühl necessitates our ongoing tendency.” Those who know me are well aware of my proclivities in this direction, so it seemed worth adding to the menu of bloggable subjects.
* I’m not really sure there’s anyone in this category, but I can pretend.
