I'm removing the references to his being a linguist, as I can find no evidence in the entire article that he ever did work on linguistics. Having a B.A. in Latin and an M.A. in English does not make one a linguist. And despite its name, the Modern Language Association is not a linguistics organization, but a literary one.

Under ""introduction"" there is a sentence which reads, in part "a thesis regarding cultural development that can be styled his technology thesis". This sounds horribly incorrect though i cannot fix it as im not wholly sure what the intent of the paragraph is. Ixtli 23:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
What's with these "His most important work" and "His second most important work" designations? Labeling something his most important work seems a stupid idea in the first place, but if you're going to do it, how would it be Ramus over Orality & Literacy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.189.157 (talk) 02:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Works of related interest"
This is supposed to be a biographical article about Walter Ong, not a bibliography of "related" works by other authors. I'm removing these sections. --ZimZalaBim talk 03:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Contributions in perspective"
This entire section reeks of original research, as if someone simply pasted their school essay on Ong. I suggest removing it entirely. --ZimZalaBim talk 04:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
