.@shermanklumpp . Yet Britain and the USA also *had* strong cultures of shame and self-restraint, before they eviscerated the laws which backed up the then general belief that some things were right and others wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Another use of 'seems' to mean 'does not' . I don't 'not want' to review Mr Allen's book. But I also have not been asked to do so by any publication (the usual procedure), and Mr Allen has yet to tell me succinctly what its argument is, so I don't know if I'm even interested. — PolitiTweet.org

As academic selection in public (state) schools is almost unknown in the USA, I doubt the book will attract much interest there. .@ksg_urbfarm — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah I never considered the term "rote" pejorative and hostile. Maybe it's more of an "unword" or "unterm" in England.

.@ArcEng9154644 But the term 'by rote' is pejorative and hostile, and used by the enemies of such methods to increase hostility to them. If you support learning by heart, why use a pejorative term for it? — PolitiTweet.org

.@aylmer51. you are mistaking the old English use of ‘ right’ to mean ‘enforceable, specific limit on state power’ (as in the 1689 Bill and Jefferson’s near-copy)from the French theoretical, unenforceable and broad claim of the ‘ rights of man’ . read the article. — PolitiTweet.org

.@aylmer51 Do you think I am unaware of such things? For some years the wonderful David Miller, now alas gone from us, did what he could for me, but found it a great struggle to fund publishers. Agents don’t get you reviews, btw. That’s a wholly different process. — PolitiTweet.org
