b'An Editorial Comment on ElHaye and Ji\\u014bkins; by Butch McBastard and Jonathan van der Meer; From Volume CLXI, Number 1 of Speculative Grammarian, February 2011. \\u2014 We, too, have been \\u201cwatching with interest\\u201d the \\u201congoing\\u201d cosmolinguological \\u201cdebate\\u201d among several well-known and well-respected physolinguists. As supporters of free speech and vigorous debate, the editors of Speculative Grammarian encourage and support the energetic exchange of ideas, even when those ideas are tripe. Thus, we felt compelled to let ElHaye and Ji\\u014bkins have their say, even though their anti-lexicalist and anti-Bloduweddan comments are anathema to even the least tolerant among us. (However, of note, their anti-Chomskyite implicatures are generally acceptable to all but the most tolerant among us. Funny that.) (Read by Daniel Nuance.)'
