		<title>And Getting Madder by the Second&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;The service we offer is 100% legal, very legitimate and won’t make you a cheater&#8217;, this site informs us.
Another essay writing service; but whereas the &#8216;essay-scam&#8217; was almost charming in its feckless hysteria, this one oozes competence, guilt and pathetic self-justification. &#8216;Why this is not cheating&#8217;, it explains:

		<title>Robot Copyeditors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The sales text for a high-Google-ranked automatic editing tool gives us more information about the quality of the product than the writers presumably intended.
It won&#8217;t be Utopian to say that every time whatever we write, whether a  memo, report or a research material, is precise, accurate and effective  in single go. It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview with Bertrand Russell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a wonderful film of Bertrand Russell, interviewed aged around 87.

Russell lived so passionately, and was active in so many areas of intellectual and political life, that it is difficult to achieve a true picture of all he was and did. One can study his mathematical logic at university (his History and the essays [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does SEO spell &#8216;doom&#8217;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The crimes against language committed in the name of SEO continue unabated. At this rate, the English language will be extinct inside a year.
A deeper circle of hell is even now being fired for so-called editors who commit SEO crimes. Thus does a certain editing site &#8211; winner of (and, one suspects, sole contestant for) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revealing ellipses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago &#8216;rigorous&#8217; method for handling ellipses  in quotations (XV 11.57) is the only one that should be acceptable in scholarship.
Chicago&#8217;s &#8216;three-or-four-dot method&#8217; permits an incomplete sentence to be presented as a complete one. Thus, as an example, Chicago says that this passage:
