homework

Correcting assignments today based on the students' viewing of a Deborah Tannen video lecture about her work on the different ways men and women talk. One of the students wanted to reference her point that neither men nor women talk more, but that who does so varies according to whether the space is public or private. I quote:

"Men do pubic. Women do private."

If only he had added an 's' to 'private'...
