What Happened To Me In The Library 5
-----------------------------------------
14)  Hoping to reassure this member of the library staff that
I am here on business, I quickly scan her desk in search of her
name, and see the plate on her desk:
                       Lulu
             (Thank You So Much For Not Smoking)
As she eyes me suspiciously, I explain that I am here in response
to the notice in my faculty study, and she, relieved, explains
that I have not renewed my study, but that if I would like to now,
I may, and then I may ignore the letter that has been sent to my
departmental unit.  I fill out the form that she gives me to
permit me to continue sharing the study with four colleagues who
never show up, as she finishes her BLT and cleans the edges of
her mouth with a flowered handkerchief on which is embroidered
a large <L>.
.
My job done and my credibility restored with the library staff,
I return to my faculty study to peruse the volume devoted to the
Portuguese Ambassadors at the turn of the century.  Delighted to
find a reference to the Bunerrosa Archives in Lisbon, and hoping
that the address is still correct, I return to the stacks to
search for a bibliography of Swedish twentieth century fiction.
Kneeling down to reach the second shelf from the bottom, finding
the desired volume, I remove it from the shelf and see, through
the shelf, a pair of very shapely legs, bared from mid thigh down,
belong to the lovely creature in search of bibliographical treasures
shelved on the other side of the stack.  Peering over my reading
glasses, humming softly to indicate my absorption in my <work>,
I see the legs begin to tremble, then to brush against one another,
emiting a slight rasping sound, which sound refines my senses and
corrects my first erroneous perception:  they are not bare at all,
but covered in the finest, sheerest gossamer that money can buy,
and I, fascinated by my new discovery, follow the line of those
shapely columns down past the curve of the back of the knee, down
down down to the black patent leather cocktail pumps, to the
tall slender heels clacking clickity clack on the hard tile floor
of the library stacks.
.
15)  Through the empty space created by the absence of the
volume devoted to Swedish Twentieth Century Fiction comes the
voice, in an almost inaudible whisper, the throaty, raspy voice
intoning the lament:
    "The Ambassador to Sweden was my great-uncle's first cousin,
     once removed."
I flee in horror to the sanctuary of my newly-renewed study on
the fifth floor of the D. H. Hill Library.  On my desk I find
moving slightly in the breeze as the door to my study slams shut
a lovely, incredibly white-as-snow, almost lighter-than-air.....

Actually, hee-hee, I think he probably did, just as almost all the
19th century novelists did (B. Perez Galdos did issue some of his
novels as installments in magazines before putting them in print as
complete novels)....  It's the Ladies' Home Journal syndrome, and
its been around forever.  Do any of you *English* professors know

Nope.  Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being born without possessing
that smudge of smudges on her soul, Original Sin (unlike the rest of us

the Virgin Birth.  (Puts a whole new light on my post of last week,

	"The First International Festival of Short Films"


	Nine films, all of them stunning.  Everything from a Welsh
short called "The Childeater" that was lush and beautiful, to a
New Zealand film called "Rushes" that is destined to be a favorite
of the talk.bizarre/alt.sex.bondage crowd.

Actually, it's not exactly an UL; there was a case right here in CT where
they tried some guy for murdering his wife, and then disposing of the evidence
with his wood chipper.  The Wood Chipper Murder Trial is how it's remembered.
I don't remember the particulars any more, but it was a pretty sensational
trial a few years ago.  It ranked right up there with the Kara Lazynski [sp]
case - my mother almost wound up on that jury, btw.

	In other words, they equate "disinterested" with "uninterested."  Isn't
	that what I was saying?

I am suggesting that they do not *equate* dis- and un-.  I'm suggesting that
they understand the difference and if you waited long enough for a spontaneous
utterance you'd see that - but we can't wait, so we have to ask.  If we
ask 'what does disinterested mean?' they won't think too hard and the meaning
which will pop to mind is the meaning of the similar word un-, because
that word is more common.  However if you remind them that there are
two similar words and ask what the distinction is, I suggest they will
actually know the distinction.

Because un- is the more common word, people will write un- correctly when
they mean un-.  dis- is a less common word and therefore when it will not
occur to people to use that word when they want to say unbiased.  If
they are well enough educated to know the meaning of dis- they will also
hold the distinction, and be unlikely to write un- erroneously in
place of dis-.

So I maintain that people either don't know the difference, and will use
un- for un- and never volunteer dis- and never use un- in a dis- context,
or do know the difference and get both correct.

Hence why I phrased my question as I did.

Merely asking 'do you know what disinterested means' will only
1) find the meaning of uninterested for people who aren't aware of dis-.
2) accidentally retieve the meaning of un- for people who do know the
difference but haven't been primed to consider it.

	Why is it worrying?  It doesn't worry me at all.

I still have real trouble understanding your view of education.  I can't
make out whether you're arguing some pedantic linguists point that's
too subtle for me or if you really don't care that - ah! - i remember -
this is the "series of grunts" argument again: you don't care if
the language is reduced to a series of grunts because if that suffices for
the needs of the users then it is acceptable.  What I'm saying is do
you care that people are being *taught* grunting instead of English
and being dragged down rather than finding their own level?  Do you
give a damn about the standard of language teaching or not?

One, I don't have an answering machine. But the difficulty is more
basic. Even if the audio quality is good, I really must see people's
mouths. I have difficulty distinguishing v and w. Similarly for th (in
the) vs a soft d. On the other hand, I have well internalized boundary
line between aspirated/not aspirated, and since it is mine, it's the one
