Come journey with me, Jane Parkerton, as I travel a new path and embrace a new career, teaching. Walk with me as I read, and struggle with new language, theories, and concepts. Be patient as I question, argue, discuss, write, and blog.

A web search, however, does bring up many responses to Rosenthal's piece and further discussion of tricky words with shades of meaning that stump us.
