All I really knew was that I had found the perfect place on the perfect wave, and I had remained there endlessly. Forever.

A Neo-Linguistic Neologism?
January 11, 2010
A curio, this. Blade is forwarded a press release proclaiming the virtues of Global Travel Writers’ new E-book Travel Writing and Travel Photography – From Dreams to Hard Reality. So far, so good. But among the book’s many virtues is a chapter on New Media which contains “exclusive material and advice on the latest Neo-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques that writers can use to enhance the appeal of their features to editors and ultimately, to readers”.
Don’t they mean Neuro-Linguistic? Or is Neo-Linguistic truly the last word in neologisms?

Posted: Jan 18th, 2010 at 6:08 am1As the sub-ignorant author of this press release, I plead guilty. The author of the chapter on Neuro-Lingusitic Programming, the Head of the Department of Communications at RMIT University in Melbourne, has severely reprimanded me for the error.
Can you kindly let me have your E-mail address so that I can send you a complimentary review copy of the E-book?
Thanks,
