	Oblique case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In linguistics, an oblique case is a noun case that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
		An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address.
		It contrasts also with an ergative case, used in ergative languages for nouns that are direct actors; in ergative languages, the same case is used for a direct object, and for the subject of a sentence where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.

	CreativeSynth opinion - In the Cards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While the Oblique Strategies are very useful in a musical context, they are sometimes "too much", or "too specific" for some musicians.
		A close friend of mine commented that when he uses the Strategies, he feels "as though the cards are making fun of him." It is true that many of the cards are strongly worded, or can possibly take you far afield from your typical creative process.
		In addition to the Oblique Strategies, the most useful deck I've found is The Observation Deck, by Naomi Epel.
