**********************************************
ABSTRACT: Some subscribers might be interested these satirical essays by Diana Senechal and Arnold Arons for which I provide excerpts:

(a) “Research Breakthrough! Silver Bullet Found” [Senechal (2012)], online at http://bit.ly/Q1vRee;

(b) “Educational Practices - an Expert View of Current Trends” [Arons (1973)], online to subscribers of The Physics Teacher at http://bit.ly/JMDept;

(c) “An expert visit to the cognitive domain” [Arons (1984)], line to subscribers of The Physics Teacher at http://bit.ly/LdVDtY.

Arons was influenced by Frank Sullivan’s http://bit.ly/SV48uk Mr. Arbuthnot, the cliche expert, who futilely battled the banal in popular writing. Fortunately, Arbuthnot lives on in essays by Ben Yagoda (2001?) http://bit.ly/UvHSxV “24/7 With the Cliche Expert” at http://bit.ly/TaI9ET and Frank Prial (2006) http://bit.ly/R7OPPz “Wine talk: Rolling out those chewy behemoths” at http://nyti.ms/Q1IyWt.

And also - you know - having said that, in real time and for texters and googlers, the bottom line is that the imperial concerns of the real-time marketplace demand use of awesome, amazing, and game-changing cliches not only prior to, but at the end of the day, around the clock, and 24/7.
