In my many composition courses over the years, one of the most consistent problems with student writing is the use of logical fallacies and improper argumentation. And these problems don't just exist in student essays; they litter the Internet as well. When researching problems, developing solutions, and formulating positions, employing valid argumentation techniques is vital for helping your readers sufficiently understand what you mean.
The latest episode of the You Are Not So Smart podcast addresses logical fallacies in all their forms--even fallacy fallacies. Yep, you read that correctly. If you are in need of a refresher on how to properly argue or want to figure out why website commenters are the way they are, do yourself a favor and take a listen.
The podcast is about 30 minutes long once you fast-forward through commercials. Enjoy!
