Ubiquitous prescriptivism

[Robert Hartwell Fiske]

... In the spirit of being appropriate, let me renew my invitation to  
members of the ADS list: I welcome receiving essays on -- well, on whatever you  
please so long as it relates to language and is not a personal attack on  me. As 
I say on my site: 
 
The Vocabula Review — not meant to be solely a forum for our  prejudices — 
invites readers to submit articles about issues related to the  English 
language. In the spirit of thoughtful inquiry and personal essays, we  wish to 
encourage writers to submit articles about what they themselves think.  
Well-written, insightful, creative articles are far more appealing to us than  
overreferenced, overannotated articles. What's important to us is not what  everyone else 
has ever thought but a clear presentation of one's own thoughts.  Today, 
there are few opportunities for people to enjoy the freedom that comes  with 
writing for oneself and others in a nonacademic way. The Vocabula  Review offers 
one such opportunity.
