So perhaps appearing in an appropriate Smith tartan kilt might 'grease the wheels', as it were, in the interview?<br /><br />Just a thought...GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724420627956315838.post-44023226604024828412010-07-07T08:47:26.472-07:002010-07-07T08:47:26.472-07:00Gentlemen, thank you.

It seems that intelligence and ability are no longer <i>sine qua nons</i> for academe. But the dumbing down of teaching has been going on awhile.<br /><br />When I was still gainfully employed (I'm retired, thankfully...)I once used the word 'disabuse' in a report to the Division Head. The report was first reviewed by my boss who enquired if 'disabuse' was really a word (this is the USA after all). Despite my assurances that it could be found in the OED, he insisted I change it! Shakespeare would not have been amused.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724420627956315838.post-27816845708361063242010-07-06T13:01:43.644-07:002010-07-06T13:01:43.644-07:00Consider my chains rattled.
