I promise I’m working on part 2 of my pluralism post, but right now I need somewhere to view a video without the moronic and offensive comments below, so I’m linking here for my freshman comp students. ?The video is hilarious anyway.

What’s the topic of lecture?
We’re talking about the thesis-driven academic essay as its own dialect of English, one with rules internal to the practice. I figure my students who know anything at all about baseball will get a kick out of listening to someone talk about the game in a dialect entirely ill-fitting to the practice at hand.
When I watched this video, I was reminded of how well I’m able to follow your theological posts: I can tell there’s some exciting stuff going on, but most of what I read becomes blue and red lights.
