Suki Falconberg, whose essays I have posted here as often as she has sent them to me, e-mailed me this, her most recent essay, a while back while my blog was passworded.  It’s excellent, as Suki’s writings unfailingly are.  Given that her topic is language, this essay seems especially timely, too, in light of Mary [...]
