produce a non sequitur orally or in writing.
Example: You submit a word to the
pseudodictionary. After receiving your email
notification from Paul and Garret that your word
has been added, you click on the link to surf to
the site, you're filled with anticipation--you
know the thrill you'll experience when you see
your word...your description!...your
example!!...in an online dictionary!!! You think,
ohmigod! i'll be famous! (Many of the
pseudodoctrinati think in lower case. Paul
McFedries of www.logophilia.com might refer to
them as shiftless thinkers.) Then, 'Ello, this
isn't the example I submitted! It's been
pseudoctrinated!! Asshole editor!!! You then send
an email, asking the editor why he changed what
you wrote--perhaps even *demanding* that he tell
you why he changed your artful use of language. A
response you might get follows the //////////
below. Other ways the editor may use barbecue:
(1) Barbecue. This is the editor's shorthand
response for I don't know. My brain must have
left the building before I did. (2) Barbecue? The
always polite Damned if I know why I changed it.
Did your brain perhaps leave the building before
you did? I know that happens to me the BFOer I
get. Are you sure you wrote what you think you
did? OR (appearing in your entry when it's added)
Is this what you meant to say? It looks to me as
if it may be a non sequitur. (3) Flame the
editor? Barbecue! will mean something like Fuck
you...and the horse you rode in on or Go set
*yourself* on fire. That is to say, in no
uncertain terms, the editor is not going to
antagonize his wife and get into arguments with
her about his wasting his time arguing with you.
He's far too wily for that. Also too BFO.
////////// I don't know why I had difficulty
understanding it. Everything else you sent in was
very clear. Maybe your original example had a
barbecue in it? OR Did you barbecue your
description? Your example?

is very often used. It's also clear to everybody

rich brands
within the hearts and minds of consumers.

using all kinds of digital tools

but.:
This
is a submission and a question. The submission
is: but. There is a long-accepted use
of a terminal but... in English. Thus, He said,
'Yes, but....' to mean a thought the listener can
complete or the like. My question is not about
that use of but. The but I am interested in does
not leave any room for the listener to complete
anything. It stands on its own as a fact or
opinion or sentiment of the speaker. I've
encountered the expression mostly in British
detective shows and in British novels. For
example, from Reginald Hill's Dalziel/Pascoe
novel _On Beulah Height_: Mebbe. Not a daughter,
but. They just had the one. Mary. It nigh on
pushed the father over the edge, losing her.
(Copyright 1998 by Reginald Hill, paperback, Dell
Books, September 1999, p. 40.)
This use of but usually has the but at the end of
the sentence and is not followed by an ellipsis.
My question: I would like to
1. know if this is Yorkshire slang or an accepted
Yorkshire way of speaking.
2. (if available) locate some references (both of
its use as above in Hill's novel and any
commentary on this use of but.).
