And Speaking of the Chicago Tribune

I understand that the Trib is considering eliminating its weekly "On Language" column by Nathan Bierma, whom I've quoted several times here and on "A Way with Words." That would be a shame. If you agree, please take a moment right now to drop a quick line to the editors. Let them know that there are plenty of us language lovers out here who remain eager to "read all about it": ctc-tempo@tribune.com.
