Reading, writing, speaking, listening. No, this is not audible, so there’s no listening going down, unless you are speaking the above lines, or listening to the song included. But no one writes with italics these days–at least not my students. Consider this a flashback to the grammatical times of our yesteryears.

We inflect when we speak, so we should when we write. Right? I still think it makes a difference which pile your paper gets put into, so a little style doesn’t hurt.

On a side note–“chunking” reared its head again today. I see you, chunking, played by legendary actress Angelica Huston.
