One expects philologists to be careful with words, yet sometimes when a fellow philologist says, “Do come by our panel on online learning for a few minutes, maybe answer a question or two”, what she actually means is, “Deliver a talk at our conference. And, by the way, you are scheduled to speak this Friday.”
I don’t mind much because I have a mile-long bibliography on the evils of online learning, so I can talk away but it’s still funny how this all came about.

Ah those philologists! I wonder how Gilbert and Sullivan would treat them in one of their musicals.
