2/ And then I do not even get the book chapters. I get stuff related to the book chapters.

Why is anybody publishing with #OUP?

Why are they doing this to us? I want this book! Why do I have to download 15 files instead of the book? Did these publishers ever talk to their costumers?

So the Oxford University Press Word of the year is "rage bait" which narrowly fought off aura farming and biohack. Last year it was brainrot. Humanity's relationship with social media clearly isn't healthy. We need to show more discernment in our reading procurement. I would rather ask a librarian rather than Musk's or Zuckerberg's algorithms what to read next. An hour in your local library beats an hour scrolling. Your brain will thank you. #wordoftheyear #iamreading #OUP #readbetter https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewjxqvqzgyo
Rage bait named word of the year 2025 by Oxford University Press

The phrase - meaning to get angry scrolling through social media - beats aura farming and biohack to the title.

Well, now that #LearningStyles have been thoroughly debunked & the message is finally getting through, here comes #OUP, promoting #TeachingStyles, & prompting gullible teachers to self-identify as one of their prescribed profiles.

You can't make this stuff up.

I've sent my student off to watch #TheBirdcage (I thought #Priscilla might be a bit too much too soon).

I do not get it. Why should I (or my institution) pay for this? Why isn't it possible to read the normal PDFs online? Why do they put the cut out figures into their PDFs?Why this small font?
I guess the idea is that they want to sell the physical book to me. But I have a complete room full of books. I do not want any further paper books. I want nice looking searchable PDFs on my hard disk.
And why can't I download the book in one go? #OUP is really unsexy as a publisher.

Bloddy hell! This is a long time without copy right restrictions. Russel 1905. And they still want to get 40€ from me. This is robbery. By a charity company like #OUP.
