#English
• width: sounds unexpected (given “wide”), but spelled as it sounds
• height: sounds as expected (given “high”), but not spelled as it sounds

This is a question for all the #English and #debate #teachers out there.

I have a method for teaching argument construction. It's half-remembered from somewhere, but where?

I think the original formulator said he came up with it by observing trial lawyers.

It goes:

- Write out what you want to prove.

- Write out the relevant facts.

- Connect the facts to your proposition.

- Think of objections, then elaborate your argument so they no longer apply.

THE MEN THEY COULDNT HANG
Night Of A Thousand Candles
1985 UK pressing

A Sunday morning spin of some #folk -y psychobilly #punk country from London in the #80s .

I bought this blind from a cheap bin while I was visiting a friend in Atlanta, Georgia around 2018.
We were killing some time before going to a Braves game, and I found this fun little record store in The Battery.

This was their first record, and it’s got more than a little bit of a Pogues-y vibe to it (albeit less loose and sloppy-sounding), which is probably why I like it so much.
Celtic/English folk with punk energy, it’s a very English sounding working-class kind of record.

Great songs, great passion.
A record I’m always happy to revisit, but haven’t in a while.

Although I do like some of their records that came after, nothing tops this one for me. It’s just REALLY good.
