Thought for the Day

Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.
-Wendell Johnson
Now I'll just have to find out about the "Monster Study" and "General Semantics."

Come visit the Institute of General Semantics site http://www.generalsemantics.org and sign up for the discussion forum (free of charge) where you can ask questions. As for the so-called Monster Study, the New York Times Magazine ran a very negative article on it a few years ago, but I don't recall the date or year, but Wendell Johnson's son, former FCC member and LBJ advisor Nicholas Johnson has a defense of his father posted on the tribute site to Wendell Johnson: http://nicholasjohnson.org/wjohnson/#The%20Tudor%20Study.
