I WOULD like to point out that several ADS linguists have been active in

NCTE, e.g., Allan Metcalf, Natalie Maynor, Walt Wolfram, and Dennis

Barton. We should all follow their lead. I confess that I haven't been to

an NCTE meeting for yeaRS (since I gave up directing Freshman English at

Duke!)



I'm not sure that I've ever been to one. As much as I appreciate being

included on the list above, I must admit that I don't belong there. I

can't remember when I was last a member of NCTE. Maybe fifteen years ago?
