0:26:38 skip to Moby Dick, pass the literary analysis section, if you want.

I think you’re doing a fine job. Don’t let the people who are taking knit-picky potshots at you, bother you.

Also, paralipsis (it’s actually on the screen), also paraleipsis ; proslepsis

There’s a problem with the rendering of the names of the rhetorical tropes(or strategies) to which the speaker is referring at the beginning of the lecture:
0:00:59 (et seq.), the Greek word is spelt apophasis (not apophysis, not apophasia); the Latin word is spelt ‘occultatio’; and the other term for personification is prosopopoeia.

Those who can’t think, or write anything original, use cliches.

I like to think that there is no one in the classroom and he’s talking to himself.
And those who teach CAN do. They inspire thousands of minds. That’s a great talent.

Those who can do, those who can’t teach.
