I just really like this image.

There’s a theory that early Europeans started saying “brown one” or “honey-eater” instead of “bear” to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa “the faceless woman” because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber

English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.

Sociolinguistics: Crash Course Linguistics #7

Language is an important part of our identities, and the ways we feel about how others use language is influenced by society. The study of the social element of language, and how it forms part of our identity is sociolinguistics. In this episode of Crash Course Linguistics, we’ll learn about linguistic differences between and within languages based on factors such as location, education, class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, and how our perceptions of these differences affect our society.

For more links and resources on sociolinguistics, see this week’s issue of Mutual Intelligibility.

I think Amsterdam is my 2nd favourite City in the world. It could possibly be first, but I only spent 3 days there 8 yr ago. I could be mistaken.

I don’t think people grasp the concept that medicare for all means literally everyone. You won’t be paying for your private insurance that doesn’t even cover everything. Insurance companies are allowed to charge insane amounts for profit. Healthcare shouldn’t be for profit. It should be for the people.
