Wisconsin dialect

[Dennis R. Preston]

Scot,

You would be remiss not to get in touch with ADS members Joe Salmons
(Univ of WI Madison) and Erica Benson (U of Wis Eau Claire) who are
at work on projects which overlap considerably your intentions.
Please get in touch with them before you go on.

It should be the chief aim of a university professor to exhibit
himself in his own true character - that is, as an ignorant man [sic]
thinking, actively utilizing his small share of knowledge. - Alfred
North Whitehead

There are many different religions in this world, but if you look at
them carefully, you'll see that they all have one thing in common:
They were invented by a giant, superintelligent slug named Dennis. -
