In case you haven't seen this, I thought you might appreciate this article
from Speculative Grammarian, the journal of "satirical linguistics". It is
entitled "The Lexicalist Agenda: Exposing the Myths", and I thought it was
really funny.

"And because, in all the galaxy, they had found nothing more precious
than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became
farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they
reaped."
--Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey
