This blogger I am making the fall guy for a common mistake: “these kinds of draconian measures” are out of order, says Mark Hemingway at Wash Times Beltway [non-]Confidential.
He’s right about them being out of order, but dead wrong about their being several kinds. They are one kind. It’s how we classify things to make a point, placing many measures in one category, in this case draconian.
IS ANYBODY LISTENING??
