Starting with "At's and Sajeela's Ways of Learning LO24702" there's been
some discussion about "teaching" styles, perceptual understandings of
conceptual transfers, etc. etc. Lakoff's "stuff" is just another take on
it all, something to be considered as a potential model for interpreting
the written word when immediate advocacy/inquiry feedback cannot be
realized....
