Talking to @eliburnstein about his new book THE DICTIONARY OF FINE DISTINCTIONS! Episode coming soon.
I obsessed over this book — Comfortable Words by Bergen Evans — and wanted to find out all could about the history of the things we say and write. I was always in the 400s section of the school library.

I’ve decided to end the debate right here: people have been saying “less” instead of “fewer” since Anglo-Saxon times. Here’s a sentence from the Old English 𝘋𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘢𝘵𝘰, which says: “The more you say, the less people believe you,” where the sense is “fewer people”↓

This is a good way to check where your head is at on language. How does it make you feel when you hear it? 1. 😡 Scoff and scorn! Ridicule the deviant! Why don't people know everything? 2. 😍 Yonkeys! A new way to say the word! I wonder why this happened.

Fascinating thread. I would add that they get a lot of unjustified criticism when they’re coming up (because people do a lot of sledging to public figures; it happens) and then they think ALL criticism can be shrugged off, even when they’ve gone off the rails. (eg Dawkins).

Growing up gay in 90s Scotland. It was a sin. I worked everyday for 25 years to change that. Then the anti-trans mob came along and they throw the same insults & rhetoric I heard growing up. For everything I longed to do, no matter when or where or who…it’s once again a sin.
I will probably use this in my intro to linguistic anthropology section on John Austin for the rest of my career
but what if the source is brad ingarfield
the mcwhorter thing is so bad i’m embarrassed just to be in the same field as him
Imagine that the day you’re slotted to lecture on 4’33” there is a protest going on at your school that has gathered worldwide attention, and instead of taking the alley-oop for one of the most prescient lectures ever, you say “lecture canceled, it’s not quiet enough”
I almost cant believe someone could possibly miss the point of 4'33" so bad except at the last minute of consideration i realise yes I can believe it
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
New episode of @LexisPodcast is up! It's an interview with @f_moncomble about the links between the discourses around French and English. We talk about prescriptivism, l’Académie Française and why debates about language are never just about language. spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ad2aoAHb3Ib
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
McWhorter wants the sound of 4’33 to be birds chirping or people chatting, not chanting and police sirens. John Cage got his ass I’m afraid
ok i know the pandemic was hard on us but 2020 was not in fact 15 years ago
