Colorscript + all the slides for Earth Day 2017 (look at it here to see the parallax & transitions!) I wanted the colors to support the story. As the fox moves from passivity to action, the colors become stronger and more saturated.

How to pluralize loanwords

When you don't know anything about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" is "memoranda", why can't people get it right

When you know a little about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" should just be "memorandums" because that's how people naturally say it, "memoranda" is just prescriptivism

When you know a lot about linguistics: Oh my god? So certain English words borrowed from Latin and Greek have competing plural forms, with one form using the English plural -s and the other using a borrowed Latin or Greek form? Do you realize how crazy that is - a language borrowing *inflectional morphology* from another language? And here the two competing plural forms have become markers of education, expertise, and social class, isn't that incredible?
