I doubt I'll join in on the discussion for this month. I read Chandler almost fifty years ago, and enjoyed him greatly, but I don't think I want to go back to him now.
Useful post Tim, Wife is interested in linguistic. I'll pass along the information. The anthropology clue is noted gratefully. Maybe we'll cross bicycles and baguettes again on the other thread.
