Mixed Metaphor Watch

Posted by Chris

I'm not especially happy now. I'm a bit under the weather, and busy grading papers, moving this week, and fretting about my unfinished thesis. But then there is this, from a student paper, to brighten my day. Savour it while I cut blogging to an absolute minimum for a few days:

[The author in question] shows us the wrongness of this judgment in terms of logical reasoning and claims that argumentation must shift from target in order to find a fertile territory where argument reasoning is free from stumbling upon established assumptions.
Ah yes, a clear image forms in my mind . . .

Good grief. And I already had a headache. Thanks for that Chris, no really, and thank that student for me...

Genius! Do you think it might have been made by some kind of bad paper-writing AI?
