I have begun allowing myself to stop reading any book that makes me too crazy and moving on to the next read.

Unlike you, I love formal logic.

Why you gotta be like that?

I wonder why? One of my classmates even used it in her critique of my story. I don’t think people realize that it’s flaw in a logical argument (god, I hated Logic in college), and think it just means you’re opening yourself up for questions.

My pet peeve is the myriad of people that continually misuse the phrase “begs the question”. One would think people in the business of communication would know better.
