 Every time I talk to my mother

my mom is the same!!!! except then 3 years later she’ll be like “….is that my sweater did you take my sweater”

I live too far away for her to notice what I’m wearing (and in this case *not* wearing), thank goodness

please stop perpetuating the idea that all 20+ week abortions were wanted pregnancies or medical emergencies, you are erasing real people and real life scenarios. thank you. your blog seems great but those 4 reasons are not remotely the only reasons to terminate at 20+ weeks. this does way more harm than good.

That post saying that is literally a year old, I have since stated only MOST are that way at 20+ but it remains true that the vast majority of people are in one of those scenarios’ and I remain fully in favor of those abortions as well. I am therefore not perpetuating the idea that all of them are, so thanks for actually bothering to look through more recent posts before assuming. Super appreciate it.

http://wordpress.clarku.edu/meneuman/tag/handwriting/ this is my amazing college adviser’s antiquarian blog, specifically everything she’s tagged handwriting. handwriting is where most of the individual colloquialisms and capitalization quirks come from. also it’s just super fun to try to read handwriting that looks like dutch aliens wrote it.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/a-to-z-guide-to-street-slang-from-the-1700s-1601888 this is just a cute little article the mirror did about 17th c slang. the sources are all accurate and it’s a wild ride.http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/10522/capitalisation-of-nouns-in-english-in-the-17th-and-18th-centuries this is my FAVORITE compilation of sources relating to the practice of Random capitalization that was Prevalent during the 17th and 18th centuries. language was largely nonstandardized (along with last names and street addresses) until the late 18th and 19th centuries when people were like “oh Fuck, how do i locate Someone, woe betide”

there’s also a hella awesome database where anyone can transcribe handwriting samples and manuscript pages from as far back as the 15th century but i have forgotten its name! i’ll send it along when i remember.

re: “tho,” i haven’t read a lot of sources about it, but i have read the abbreviation itself literally hundreds of times. frequently people were transcribing from an auditory source in real time, so abbreviations are all kinds of common. for example, goodbye came from the smashing together of “god b w ye” which was “god be with ye.” (http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/1505/what-is-the-origin-of-the-word-goodbye)

THERE IS NO END TO FASCINATING INFORMATION ABOUT EARLY MANUSCRIPT AND PRINT CULTURE. SERIOUSLY.
