Hi Reader, Do any of these sound like you? → "I want to use Sanskrit in my classes but I'm worried that I won't pronounce it right." → "I'm afraid that I don't know enough about what the words mean to answer questions that my students might have about them." → "I don't know if it's appropriate for me to use Sanskrit in my classes because I'm not Indian and I don't want to offend anyone." → "I'm concerned that using Sanskrit terminology might make yoga sound like a religion or maybe even put me in conflict with my own religion."

Greetings Reader, I heard they finished the Bridge to Nowhere. And then demolished it. It’s too bad. I kinda liked it. The Bridge to Nowhere was an architectonic faux pax on the Long Island campus of an otherwise respectable institution of higher learning.
