Noah Webster 101

The pundits are parsing the difference between a lie and a falsehood with a canard thrown in for good measure. Coincidentally, in NY Times Sunday Review an English professor from Columbia Univ. was expounding on Donald Trump's oral delivery i.e. the difference between speaking and talking. POTUS doesn't speak to us, he talks to us as you would to your pals at the corner bar. And he talks at a twelve year old level. Yes, the emperor has no clothes but he certainly has Pinocchio's nose. What an embarrassment!
