Comment on Simple Proofreading Process with a Big Name: Ratiocination by Alise Isbell

Thank you for the clarification and source of this wonderful technique. Having learned about the technique in 1991 at a New Jersey Writing Project course, it was never sourced. It was not my intention to claim ownership of the concept, merely to explain how it works. I’m happy and honored to give credit for the concept and sincerely apologize for any confusion.

Isabel has no ownership nor creation of ratiocination. Dr. Carroll developed, wrote and published about ratiocination in her seminal work: “Ratiocination and Revision or Clues in the Written Draft,” ENGLISH JOURNAL, November 1982. It is egregious for someone to take Dr. Carroll’s intellectual property with its long and well established provenance.

Dr Carroll has published a book on Rationciation: Weaving the Threads of Grammar, Revision, and Editing, Absey and Co. Inc. 2011.

It is unprofessional to take someone’s intellectual property and copyrighted material without permission and attribution. It is also illegal.

I sell products door to door one piece of advice a very famous person named zig zigler once said you miss 100% of the sales you never ask for in my industry the way to ask is like nike says just do it i would try somthing like adding tie downs to your pitch while talking about your product a tie down is a question or phrase that forces the customer to answer in the affirmative like “that makes sense right” or “lets go ahead and wrap this up for you will that be cash or credit” or maybe say somthing like “which two flavors are you gonna get” or maybe offer a two for one special or somthing to that effect just play with it timid salesmen have skinny kids

I think you’ve written some actually interesting points about the millenials. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. Genuinely wonderful stuff here.

Comment on Bring vs. Take. You only think you know how to use these. by John

“If “take” is a movement away from the speaker, why do we say, “May I take your order please”?”

I know I’m late on answering this, but, you just answered your own question. The waiter is writing your order down and taking it AWAY from you and giving it to the cook. It wouldn’t make sense to “bring” you your own order. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Hello, my name is Lily, and I am a grammar addict!
