This is what happened when Roman artists tried to go it alone instead of copying the Greeks

This is a cultural catastrophe
I mean, it's OK, but it's a little much perineum for me. Ever so slightly odd angle to choose.

Lispector such an amazing writer. Her short stories are intoxicating, experience of reading them akin to being bewitched. Master of the dizzying sense construction.

If you're an author, don't. Some of the worst written books I've read are by people who teach these courses.

For men at least, this is definitely more complex. Wealthy men had considerable freedom in private as long as they were discreet. We just don't know about the majority. Nero had a male slave turned into a woman and later went through a wedding ceremony himself as a bride.

No problem with em-dashes in Hart's Rules (pp141-3). Given they are described as a mostly US usage - aside from OUP - odd that so many Americans are also against them. Easy to overuse, but nothing wrong with an em-dash parenthesis.

Philosophically interesting. Dekkart believes he is human because he has memories. Turns out not his, but they are human memories, so inauthentic but not fake. LLMs use em-dashes (as do I) because in training set - written by humans. So they are a feature of human writing.

Now is it perhaps a bit harsh on @UniversityChal1 to say a maxim is attributed to Socrates and that Plato is the wrong answer? Given who did the attributing for the most part?

I'd humbly suggest that phone-free parenting has a far higher chance of succeeding if the parents are phone-free around the children. Not remotely doubting Cumberbatch and Faith may take this approach, but it's where many are likely to come unstuck. I'd find it hard!

Thoughts on @WilliamSitwell's expert assessment of the desirability of #Latin in schools. If 'expert' is defined as 'I couldn't be bothered with it when I was at Eton so obviously know better than anyone else.' linkedin.com/posts/alasdair…
