  • Turning Your Lawn into a Victory Garden Won't Save You — Fighting the Corporations Will
    Punchline: With land and wealth being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands (and with more prisoners than farmers in today's America) we have actually reached a point at which land reform is as necessary here as it is in any nation of Latin America or Asia. Only when we get more people back on the land, working to feed people and not Monsanto, will the system have a chance to work.

I’ve heard fellow Harvard grad students, federal politicians, and radio-tv callers all use reticent when they mean reluctant: “every since I was conned out of $1000, I’ve been reticent to trust salespeople.” Drives me crazy. So here it is, once and for all:

    reticent |ˈretəsənt| adjective not revealing one’s thoughts or feelings readily : she was extremely reticent about her personal affairs.

    reluctant |riˈləktənt| adjective unwilling and hesitant; disinclined : [with infinitive ] she seemed reluctant to discuss the matter.

    Apparently, however, reluctant has recently been accepted as a secondary definition of reticent, due to its commons misuse. I don’t buy it. For more on the controversy
    see here.
