I find some of his work utterly fascinating, some of it utter b*llocks.
What? I do! His stuff on generative grammar is fascinating, but I find his phonology work a bit much. Mind you, I find most phonology falls into that category.
Recommend me a book!!
Well, a good place to start might be here, which is his phd thesis...0 -

Yeah, I have to say I never really read any of his political stuff - the linguistics side was more my cup of tea!0 -

Why yes. 55 out of 100, I'd say. :P
Ha should have thought of that, i'll blame lack of coffee, but any how i would expect that if one can read, that very few wouldn't be able to read the non words, what makes poor spelling hard is the grammar or rather the lack of it.
Corrected that for you0
