I can think of no dictionary more dynamic, more accurate, more inspiring, more critical to our discipline than the dictionary that emerges through our talk with others. This defining talk is defining talk, defining talk in ways interesting and accurate. Let’s continue the conversation. Let’s not only have, but celebrate, discourse about the basic course.

“It was one of the finest rationales for the importance and significance of communication, especially the Basic Course, that I’ve heard.”
