Historic

3. Transformational: just heard this one lately.
The spell checker doesn't flag it, so I assume it's in the dictionary. What an ARROGANT word.

12. But...but...
In 1968 at the University of California, Berkeley, I was, for a short time, a linguistics major and had to deal with a concept by Noam Chomsky, called "Transformational Grammar".
