Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Happy Birthday to Jean Sebelius

Who is 144 today.*

And, coincidentally, to me.  I'll be performing his 2nd Symphony in ten more days.

Meanwhile: Misusing Slang.**
