Anyone who finds adverbs imprecise doesn\u2019t know how to use them, he writes: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/lexicon_valley\/2016\/06\/02\/abolish_the_adverb_you_seriously_must_be_joking.html\" target=\"_blank\">Anne Carson writes of adjectives that they \u2018are in charge of attaching everything in the world to its place in particularity.\u2019 Adverbs, then, curtail and refine\u2014but in doing so they can pick out the unexpected resonances, the hidden valences in the words they modify<\/a>. An adverb, at its best, offers a sudden shift in direction or tone, all the more unexpected considering the adverb\u2019s seemingly slavish subservience to the word it modifies \u2026 Deployed skillfully, the adverb backstabs lovingly, subverts daintily, insurrects gallantly.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In an equally grand tradition, \u201cstrong opinions about Russian translation,\u201d Janet Malcolm rehabilitates Constance Garnett, whose once revered translations have fallen out of favor: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2016\/06\/23\/socks-translating-anna-karenina\/\" target=\"_blank\">A couple named Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have established an industry of taking everything they can get their hands on written in Russian and putting it into flat, awkward English<\/a>. Surprisingly, these translations, far from being rejected by the critical establishment, have been embraced by it and have all but replaced Garnett, Maude, and other of the older translations \u2026 As for the charge that Garnett writes in an outdated language, yes, here and there she uses words and phrases that no one uses today, but not many of them. We find the same sprinkling of outdated words and phrases in the novels of Trollope and Dickens and George Eliot. Should they, too, be rewritten for modern sensibilities?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Most of the world\u2019s monotonous, massive, forbidding cities were built by people. Big mistake. Daniel Brown\u2019s photography proves that algorithms can do it better: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/2016\/06\/monstrous-alien-cities-built-computer-algorithm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown makes his images using generative design software he wrote himself. It creates enormous, complex 3-D patterns that he searches until finding something\u00a0interesting<\/a> \u2026 \u2018I set about programming algorithms to generate an imaginary city,\u2019 he says. \u2018One that I could populate with buildings and structures without having to draw or 3-D model\u2019 \u2026 Brown isolates the shape, and tweaks it until he arrives at something he likes. Then the program applies bits and pieces of public domain photos of 1970s apartment buildings. The result is hulking, maze-like structures\u00a0that appear to go on forever.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Sasha Chapin became addicted to chess, which he regards as an infection of the brain: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hazlitt.net\/feature\/perfect-information-game\" target=\"_blank\">Chess is what they call a perfect information game. At every moment, you are informed of everything taking place<\/a>. There\u2019s no bluffing. No guessing. No suspicion. If that notion doesn\u2019t immediately excite you, take a second to consider all the imperfect information games you play all the time. I don\u2019t mean games like poker. I mean dating, for example. Have you ever, a month into a relationship, unearthed some hidden facet of your new partner that makes you think, <em>Holy shit, get away from me<\/em>? Slowly discovering things about people is wonderful, in theory, but we often find that the mysterious reaches of the human soul contain bear traps and poison darts. Imagine if you could instantly behold the entirety of a person before you, and say, \u2018Hi, let\u2019s go to the beer location,\u2019 with perfect confidence?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Need a good weekend read? Might I recommend <em>Untangling the Web: A Guide to Internet Research<\/em> by that most laureled of authors, the NSA? \u201cThis book appears to be excellent,\u201d Paul Ford writes. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/trackchanges.postlight.com\/the-whole-spys-guide-to-the-internet-842efee4a74f#.4sqaxm7kl\" target=\"_blank\">A reasoned, thoughtful overview of the Web as an entire system, written for intelligent people who had a need of expertise and mastery over the medium<\/a>. The book throughout emphasizes security and privacy, and it\u2019s as complete as possible. It tells you how to secure your Wi-Fi, and what things to uncheck in your Internet Explorer. It helps you with complex research problems. It\u2019s granular, and dry, and exhaustive\u2014and thus incredibly helpful.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Furthering a grand tradition I like to call \u201cstrong opinions about parts of speech,\u201d Colin Dickey has mounted a defense of the adverb, which had come under fire as early as last week.
