Abstract
If Ambrose Bierce, the Bay Area's great polemicist of a century ago, were alive today, he would surely come to the defense of the English language, which has suffered under siege these past four years. At a minimum, Bierce, who defined war as "a byproduct of the arts of peace," would update his famous Devil's Dictionary with new entries that might read something like this baker's dozen.
