I note, with interest, Common Errors in English, a link that Pilgrim has on his blog. It's particularly notable in light of a recent family 'occurrence'. We had the pleasure of a week-long house-guest. Our guest was Stacey, a young lady who is a high-school music teacher in Georgetown, South Carolina – near Myrtle Beach. She is an accomplished pianist and singer. She has two master's degrees, one of which is from Temple University (Bill Cosby's alma-mater).
In the course of exploring teaching opportunities in our area, and considering the possibility of an on-going 'affiliation' with Eric, our son, Stacey arrived on Christmas Eve, and departed New Year's Morning. We enjoyed her presence – and, well, her presents. My reason for posting this note is that Stacey is somewhat of a stickler for precision in terminology, leading to greater coherence in conversation. I wouldn't say that she is a purist, in the purest sense, but, I am impressed by that quality. May that tribe increase, which reminds me to relate that she is of 'full Jewish extraction', a 'born(ed!) and raised' New Yorker (Staten Island).
Stacey, it was great having you with us; devour RCS's Chosen By God, as well as the other materials. Let me know if materials should be singular. Bet you don't have to consult Common Errors in English.
Oh, the report is that prospects for a transfer to this area, to teach, are probably brighter than prospects for said on-going affiliation. Friends are good people to be. Options will continue to be pursued.

I have devoured the Sproul - brilliant book! (Although I remain unconvinced of all of the "five points...") I am moving on to the Augustine, but something tells me it will be a bit "denser."
"Materials" is fine. I look forward to poring through them.
Thanks for everything. It was a great week!!
