Mr. Harris at Ipse Dixit seems to agree with me (or rather, since he said it first, I with him) on Dahlwick's categorization. He also has some great words of advice for new students. Although I simply cannot agree with the highlighter's usefulness, everyone uses them, so his advice remains sage.

He also had "no choice" to link back to my site because of my use of the wonderful word "persiflage." Now, I should not leave you without another, but because I am rather tired I must leave the art of asteism for another day.

Even jesters need their sleep!

Asteism:
And no, I wouldn't expect anyone to actually know the word! It's positively ancient! Genteel irony, polite and ingenious mockery (from the Greek). See The Arte of English Poesie, attr. George Puttenham.

One learns many marvelous words when delving into Renaissance literature. I highly recommend it.

But good grief -- let's not get into the Stratfordian/Oxfordian debate!
