Is it just me, or do English people churn out another discussion on grammar when the publishing business gets a little slow?

Well, I shouldn't talk. Philosophers do the same, except x10.

PS I appreciate being able to keep up on Hope's obsessions via your blog.

PPS "Formerly Academic Prostitution" is very much similar to "Artist Formerly Known As Prince."

Just thought I would mention the resemblance.

phonetically or semantically?

I guess I meant circumstantially. It is funny to me that after artists change their name in order to reflect a new identity, people still persist in referring to them by their old name, simply with the additional qualifer "formerly [known as]." It was simply a passing observation.
