Capitalized or not, one thing is for sure: the more we talk about startup the fewer startups.

When talking about a business from first thought to first sale are we talking about a startup or a start-up? AP Style book says startup, Websters say startup. Looking at this ngram analysis by Google for the use of the word in book, magazine articles, and titles (capitalized) this is how we have been talking about new businesses, campaigns, and projects since 1940, the hughe change came after WWII. Why, do you suppose? Topic for Socrates Cafe? https://Facebook.com/SocratesCafes

Wikipedia, PLEASE post a Self-Directed Learning article!

Malcolm Knowles, the originator of the method called it Self-Directed Education. Now there seems to be an organized effort to make us call it Self-Direct Education. The effort seems to be failing. So please Wikipedia, allow a Self-Directed Learning article, stop directing inquiries to Autodydact, that's something else. For more about Self-Direct Learning see the 1975 book from Malcolm Knowles with that title, "a Guide for Learners and Teachers." Each member of the faculty will be following Knowles when we start this fall. Come teach with us! http://www.WrenCollege.org or call (303)861-1447

Tipping point for publishers.

The United States was covered by a patchwork of newspapers put out by local, independent publishers. Today corporate domination has killed many of these vitally important newspapers. Does your hometown newspaper have an indpendent publisher? If so, do you subscribe and advertise in it?
