@TheAtlantic @rosehorowitch Hooray! Congrats to @UChicago, that "last bastion"!
OTOH it seems that pesky Valley-Girl speech habit of excessive use of "like" has penetrated even the upper echelons there

At elite colleges like Columbia, many students are showing up unprepared to read full books. Itโs not that they donโt want to, @rosehorowitch writes. Middle and high schools have stopped teaching them how: theatlantic.com/magazine/archiโฆ

@RyanMcbeth @BallouxFrancois Of course it's not cool to block someone, espec when McBeth's "threat" hardly deserves any such respect;
