Interesting discussion of John Hick vs. Keith Ward re: religious pluralism here.
Many thanks to Eunice for her kind remarks about my blog here. Makes me wonder how many Koreans read my blog... I thought my audience was primarily expat.
Wooj inadvertently brought up an interesting linguistic conundrum on Saturday: he pronounces "expat" as "ex-payte." This makes sense because it's a short form of "expatriate," which has a long "a." However, I tend to pronounce the word as "ex-pat" (i.e., rhyming with "neck's fat"), and the only rationale I have for my pronunciation is that the female name "Pat" is pronounced with a short "a."
Hmmm. Meditate on this, I shall.
UPDATE: I'd written "expatriot" without thinking, and Alan Cook was kind enough to email and point out my mistake. I've corrected the above to read "expatriate."
