Chapter 24

  • 3. Dative of Agent. Unlike
    other passive forms, the passive periphrastic does not take an ablative
    agent but a dative of agent. Since no dative form will ever
    be the object of a free-standing preposition, there can be no distinction
    in the passive periphrastic between personal and impersonal agent, in
    the same way that the presence or absence of the preposition ab
    distinguishes agents in other passive constructions.

Seth's Blog: "All I do is work here"

  • The reason your brand is falling apart is because so many of your colleagues are saying the same thing, denying the same responsibility. Consumers don't believe (or care) that there are warrens and fiefdoms and monarchies within your company.
    • Disloyalty is something people look down upon. So, disavowing responsibility doesn't work as well as peope think. In this case not responsible implies irresponsible. - on 2009-08-03

Why Japan’s Smartphones Haven’t Gone Global - NYTimes.com

  • But Japanese cellphone makers were a little too clever. The industry turned increasingly inward. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the second-generation network that was rejected everywhere else. Carriers created fenced-in Web services, like i-Mode. Those mobile Web universes fostered huge e-commerce and content markets within Japan, but they have also increased the country’s isolation from the global market.
