Editor's note: Being the Editor-in-Chief of such a prestigious Journal is a great learning experience. For example I learned a new word yesterday, and am already trying to make a joke with it. I hope I don't blow it.
Dear Dr. H,
Thank you for submitting to the august Journal of Universal Rejection. In your introduction you claim certain things "are contextualized metonymically."
But I posit we in the Ivory Tower should give a thumbs down to every crumb of metonymy so as to retain the ear of Main Street.
Therefore your paper is rejected.
Best regards,
Caleb

Dear Caleb Emmons,
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't think so. You are in danger of hypostitizing a metonymic context.
Because of my own position, I feel for the heavy responsibilities of your position. I seem to be the president of a University with out campus, professors, or students. Not even a faculty parking lot.
Nicholas, at first I thought you were senior editor at The New Yorker. But then I noticed this whole City University of Santa Fe thing. That sounds cool. I'd join up if I lived in Santa Fe.
