[lbo-talk] munchers

[Michael McIntyre]

When I sat in on university linguistics classes in Strasbourg and Fortaleza,
the applied linguistics being taught were Chomskyan simply as a matter of
course, and nothing ever did more to help me master the languages.  Whether
or not Chomsky was "interested" in applied linguistics is about as relevant
as whether Newton was "interested" in civil engineering.
