This looks like a great conference, so I've submitted an abstract.

This paper argues that one of the most obstructionist obstacles to literacy is poor prosaic prowess. Based on a longitudinal study, it demonstrates that readers who encounter mixed metaphors and excessively complicatedistical dialogue find it difficult to soar like eagles over the iron shackles of illiteracy. Their linguistical landscape has been clearcut by the bulldozers of oppression and they find that the impenetrable lexical forestation poses a socio-logistical barrier to their access to the intersection of literacy. This paper recommends a number of immediately deployable solution strategies enabling the enliteration of persons previously deliterized by capitalism and government, which are bad. Throughout, this paper is characterized by a deeply-imbedded atmosphere of rigorous self-critique that serves to undermine the foundations of the bridges to enliteration erected herein.

when i go to work, i teach young adults to be better at reading and writing. we use concrete nouns to talk about things, and put pencils and pens to paper. it's such an overwhelming relief that sometimes it makes me dizzy.

free at last; thank god almighty i am (at least in practice, if not in degree-status YET) free at last.
