Creek Running North

It’s been more than a day now, and no actual scientists have responded, so I’ll do my community college thing and try to explain what they’re doing in layman’s terms:

An activity called “writing” is necessary for a response.  “Writing” involves proper sequencing of wordicles, each of which is a member of one of a number of families of wordicles called “parts of speech.”

Having researched parts of speech, they are now delving further into the hypothetical intersection of verbs and adjectives.  They suspect the existence of wordicles (playfully called “adverbs") that combine some characteristics of each, but which cannot, in fact, be either one.  They call this seeming dead-end the “adverb duality,” and are proceeding as though everybody understands what the Hell that means and accepts it.

Since “adverbs” are, at present, merely conjecture (albeit not inconsistent with classical General Relativity), scientists are understandably not eager to give the impression that wordicles, as a paradigm, are fully accepted.  They have thus declined Chris’s generous invitation.

Either that, or nobody who reads CRN wants to cop to being an actual scientist.
