Sorry, Adobe

I love Adobe's products, and wish I could afford more of them. And kudos to them for surviving so long in the quick-turnover world of technology.

However, the text below was in a promotional email I just received.

"From Blah to Aha! Ten Best Practices for the Virtual Classroom
Discover how to repurpose face-to-face classroom delivery with engaging,
facilitated online learning."


No one who is capable of perpetrating that prose should ever -ever! - be allowed near a classroom of any kind. No matter what they're "repurposing", "delivering" or "facilitating".

Please, let me contribute to the non-language party (anti-language party?) Can anyone decipher any meaning from the following:

"I argue here that ethics (ethical experience, knowledge, value, truth, reality) is precisely that which puts politics into question from the stand-point of the space-between: the space between category and reality, the space of the ethical encounter with the other as other and not more of the Same." Seriously?

From: "The Space-Between Ethics and Politics: Or, More of the Same?" by Geraldine Finn
