Some or even many American libertarians justify Putin's aggression against Ukraine. They emphasize "the fact that parts of #Ukraine identified with Russia." They don't understand that the #language problem is not the cause, but the pretext for #Putin to attack Ukraine. They don't want to take into account that parts of #Russia may identify themselves with other states, including Ukraine, or prefer to be independent of Russia. They hate their state so much that they excuse outright dictators.
Hello from British Virgin Islands! #HelloWorld #BritishVirginIslands #language #linguistics
Today I was called out for using the phrase “car guys” because it’s not inclusive of women. I corrected myself of course, but I’m reminded that a lot of my vocabulary (and as a corollary, my thoughts) are still under the influence of traditional patriarchy.
It’s really hard to undo decades of upbringing where being a man was the default and neutral state of existence. When I learned (UK) English as a child, teachers taught me to use “he” as a gender-neutral pronoun.
While I strive to be more inclusive, I continue to be surprised by how many of these patriarchal patterns continue to burrow deep inside my unconscious mind.

Anyway, I love Duolingo; it’s amazing. I can’t believe there’s a free app that teaches you other languages. It’s really well-written and makes language learning fun, b/c it’s gamified.
We pay for the Super Duolingo version so we don’t have ads, but either way you get an amazing app.
If you want you can follow me and I’ll follow you back if you let me know here who you are on Duolingo. I’m Kydia Music over on Duolingo, too.
EAT. To eat like a beggar man, and wag his under jaw; a jocular reproach to a proud man. To eat one's words; to retract what one has said.

While freely conceding that the Trumpublican regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the American people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.

**Bonkers for Britishisms: the UK terms Americans have embraced**
Matthew Cantor
_Britons have long argued that Americanisms are “poisoning” or even “killing” their language, but it must be alive and well, since some Americans vent about the opposite; they feel that their compatriots are being a bit twee when they “impersonate an Englishman”._
