Every once in a while I get a chuckle over the search strings that end up finding my blog. It has been a while since I posted any of these, and being Friday and all, I thought it would be appropriate. They are ranked in order, though I have only included the fun ones. Here you are:

  1. discourse grammar of the greek new testa: Yes, I know interest is growing in this. I am happy to report that the final version went into the production process yesterday, though I have no clue when it shall come forth.
  2. foregrounding in hallidayan theory: I recall saying a thing or two about Halliday here, but I am surprised at how much traffic it has generated for not being a Hallidayan.
  3. criticism of systemic functional linguis: See above.
  4. bad grammar examples: I would refer you to the gospel of Mark, isn’t that how the saying goes?
  5. what doesw a force mean: A “force” is something that can take over your country or ruin your day if you hit one coming in the opposite direction. It has to do either with physics or Dan Wallace.
  6. nt discourse runge: This is a new pseudonym I have been toying with, N.T “Discourse” Runge, or N.T. Runge for short. I want to ride on the band wagon of the good bishop.
  7. nt near second: I think this is in reference to my pseudonym above and the good bishop, but maybe not.
  8. exercise+markedness: Yes, of course. If you have markedness, it is important to exercise it. Otherwise your default will develop a marked slump. Not what you want heading into the summer.
  9. what is different to be semantic verses: Good question! Semantic verses are ones that mean something coherent, unlike this string. Weird stuff.
  10. main ideas for taking things for granted: Oh, I’d start with apathy, then move on to disregard for the well-being of those around me…
  11. forest quotative: Like Forest Gump, but different. How in the world…?
  12. heretical trinitarian analogies: Something to look for when things are slow on a Friday night.
  13. what does forced mean in writing: It means that some unfeeling professor has included some outrageous assignment, minimum 20 pages in length, without allowing the use of Wikipedia for a source. The audacity!
  14. comparing mark matthew luke john john th: Clearly the searcher believes in Markan priority, and views 2 John to be some kind of narrative.
  15. environment force-mean: Well, things like earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes come to mind. However, I do acknowledge that such forces are impersonal, notwithstanding the predilection writers have to personify them.
