heh... Why do I find this amusing? by snerk 2008-07-29 11:49:15
(from a listserv inbox)

But *name*, why are you trying to put equations into emails?

Professor *name*'s thread has already shown that anyone using math is a victim of the dominant western scientific episteme's cultural hegemony and as such should be helped
to overcome their akrasia (the state of acting against their better judgment) and obtain a proper phronetic relationship with this world. And that includes only using plain text in emails.

metaphorically yours,

*name*

my first thought was: "Is 'episteme's' proper usage?
my second thought was "um, I wonder what that says about me."
my third thought was "I bet the replies are going to be fun to read!"
