You are right, I LOVE John McWhorter. I have already read that book...tore through it in three days! If no one has read his books, do! They aren't overly complicated. Even better, choose audible because he reads his own books and his tone and inflection will crack you up!

Personally, I think the democrats should hire him as a consultant, especially in these days of "OH NO! You can't say that!!!!" As I recall, I could be wrong, I think he has a few articles on propagandized language and how it is used. If not him, then we should look into finding an expert in language use and propaganda....ASAP!
