  • The funny thing is that even with their degrees and jargon about language they probably actually realize very little. Krashen's and others' research has been around for three decades and explains all the main concepts brilliantly. I think academics feel the need to invent new areas of research and study in order to have something to do.

  • I like your posts steve.

    But but isn't what you call (or in similar words) the "parasitic" class, part of the "profit" economy? If so, by your own criteria, "why knock them?".

  • Very good video. I think you're a very honest person and that's quite enough.

  • i love this rant, i'm totally subscribing...

    sincerly- crazy linguistics student

  • I saw the letter Steve. These people have been in their ivory tower so long they become snobbish and very closed minded towards others' thoughts about their "expertise." Keep up the good work.
