As a teacher of argumentation, I am very interested in this look at the power of effective communication, with examples ranging from Trump, Monty Python, the Supreme Court, and the NFL, to political spin, Holocaust denial, creationism, andthe logic of toddlers. #StanleyFish #APLang #Harper

tricours I was going to say it's easy to learn but I've got a friend who has proved that no, it can apparently be difficult 😛 8y
