Vegan prescriptivism

[Peter A. McGraw]

Lynn,

Would you care to share the site's URL with us?  (At least it didn't come
through in the message as I received it.)

See, I'm just dying to find out how to reform my speech and learn to speak
of someone looking like "a zucchini in the headlights" or being "quick like
a banana."

Peter
