I'm sorry that I offended Arnold Zwicky. Clearly, my choice of the verb 
"recommend" was ill-advised. 

And misconstrued. I did not mean to imply that Arnold "endorsed" the article, 
only that he mentioned it in a context in which I assumed he was suggesting 
that reading it might in some way or another be worthwhile. 

I apologize for any offense that was given. I did not mean in any way to 
disparage Arnold Zwicky, who is in fact one of the scholars in our field whom I 
most deeply respect and admire.
