I think this especially applies when we attempt to "figure out" our colleagues, as if reality and our perceptions of it can so easily be arranged along an (implicity evolutionary) scale of ignorant to elightened.

Many of my colleagues (and myself) now feel it is better to categorize language phenomena on a variety of scales, rather than according to some binary classification which has often been done in our field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547653347296107692.post-62451394435881336152008-10-31T13:08:00.000+01:002008-10-31T13:08:00.000+01:00I'm with you there Stephen.N.T.
