Apparently the acoustics in the gents at the Hilton London Kensington are perfect for rehearsing.
Possibly the greatest invention since the fm radio/flashlight/taser combo, this case holds your phone and your favorite hand sanitizer, cologne, or bug spray.
Happy National Grammar Day to all who celebrate.* *void where prohibited. To find out where NGD is prohibited, read my latest post on the Web of Language: bit.ly/431romi
And then he said, "They have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It's a horrible thing."
Pronouns in the news, 1871 edition. With Victoria Woodhull running for president, a Missouri paper cites the masculine pronouns in Article II of the Constitution to argue that a woman can't be president. Memphis (MO) Conservative, Aug 17, 1871, p2.
Pronouns in the news, 1915 edition: W.T. Bottenfield, of Nelson, NE, coins a new set of genderless pronouns: thor, thos, thom. Bottenfield, an inventor, had also received a patent for a washing machine. White River Leader (Branson MO) Mar 19, 1915, p4
Presumably red state proposals requiring students to be exposed to "a variety of ideologies" means we can finally challenge the ideology of standard English. Oh wait...
My own line of postmodern footwear launched in 2014.

Here's my annual valentine to pronoun lovers everywhere. Feel free to forward it to your favorite grammatical purist.
Conference announcement and call for papers: What are your pronouns? And why does it matter? 17-18 Oct 2024 Montpellier (France). pronouns.sciencesconf.org
Pronouns are political: Conservatives claim pronouns are part of a left-wing plan to turn everybody trans. If a word could do that, how come during the centuries when everybody used generic "he" people didn't all become male?
Call for papers: What are your pronouns? And why does it matter? University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3. Fr. 17-18 Oct 2024. Conference organisers: Ann Coady & Sandrine Sorlin. 300 wd proposal by Feb 15: [email protected] Website TK
i have 4 of those invite codes. dm if you want one
Educide is not in the NY Times Spelling Bee word list, but it describes perfectly what Howard Nemerov once said of the professor who “has the system beat both ways / and publishes and perishes at once.” (“A full professor,” 1967)
Newsflash in the war on woke: Congressional Republicans accuse the left of canceling “malevolent alien [UFO] pilots.”
The lift in the new wing at Royal Sussex University Hospital is proving diabolically difficult to use, and the sign that was added to explain the buttons is making things even worse.
