Who gets what wrong? — Marginal Revolution
again, this is why I *hate* survey questions, and especially OKCupid questions. (OkCupid should do some charts on what kinds of questions are most often given additional commentary by the answerers...) they are almost always vague, and it means that two people presented with the same *text* are nonetheless *answering a different question* than one another, which invalidates the comparison and may well defeat the purpose of asking the question.October 19 2011

Language Log: Learning to Read in Dulkw'ahke
"In many countries the idea of having spelling competitions beyond the first year or two of primary school would be absurd. It is important for policy makers in English-speaking countries to realize that the agony of learning to read and write in English is not inherent but is the result of the combination of a complex and irregular writing system, poor teaching methods, and poorly trained teachers."June 06 2010

CLP - Vanity Card #274
"CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #274 I have coined a new word which I'm hoping will catch on. The word is "fuv." Fuv came about due to my frustration with the phrase, "making love," specifically its inability to capture the wonderfully lusty, grunting nature of the act. I was also unsatisfied with the mono-syllabic Anglo-Saxon word commonly used to describe intercourse. That word failed miserably at describing the deep spiritual and emotional bonding that can occur during sex. But now with my new word, couples engaged in that most intimate of human activities can look into one another's eyes (assuming they're facing one another) and whisper the simple, all-encapsulating phrase, "I fuv you." And yes, they can do all that while listening to my new album of remakes of classic pop hits, including, "If Fuving You Is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right," "I Feel Like Making Fuv," and the immortal, "Come Rain or Come Shine" featuring the lyric, "I'm gonna fuv you, like nobody's fuved you."
