@meltemkuran 12 inches means you’ve given us “foot for thought” AND “food for thought”.
English
Lifehack: if you eat your lunch 12 inches to the left of your laptop and check Slack on your phone, you can tell your therapist you no longer have lunch at your desk

@berkowitz_josh @meltemkuran I wanted to use wordplay for seating arrangements at Josh’s bar mitzvah. Overruled by Heather.

The Fiancé labelled friends who can sit with multiple groups at our wedding human APIs 🤦♀️

@SciLiteracyChan I agree! Sadly, for many, the Law of Large Numbers has become the Law of Large Numbers of Misconceptions (dare I say, Errors).
English
That’s not what the LLN is. The LLN is , “As n increases, the sample mean approximates the population mean.” Somehow, in popular parlance, it’s become known as, “As n increases, the chance that a rare event occurs increases.” But that’s not what the LLN is.

Even doctors seem not to understand the law of large numbers, in which low frequency events in many millions of people lead to large absolute numbers of people harmed and dying.

Why do the Olympic Games capture our imagination? Rearrange the letters to get Employs Magic! #Anagrams have hidden meanings, waiting to be discovered.

@berkowitz_josh It’s fiancée for a female and fiancé for a male, which, incidentally is only one “n” less than “finance “!
English
I’m gonna start referring to my fiancé as my General Partner

@SciLiteracyChan It’s a disputed variant spelling that arose because so many people misspelled it!!

@DrJBerkowitz Seems like both are now accepted: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/min…

More than a dozen European countries are foolishly suspending their use of the AstraZeneca vaccine based on a miniscule proportion of reports of blood clotting that almost surely has nothing to do with the vaccine. cbc.ca/news/health/as…
English
@SciLiteracyChan They have forgotten that there is a base rate of blood clot cases. The ratio of blood cases to number of vaccinated cases is lower than the base rate, I’ve heard.

@business It would be even better as a palindrome: BAMLAMNIVINMALMAB.

BREAKING: Eli Lilly’s Covid-19 antibody therapy gets emergency FDA clearance, widening access to a treatment that early data show can keep some patients out of hospital. The drug is called bamlanivimab. trib.al/MkXImdn

@berkowitz_josh @onepeloton Wonderful analogy. I might use it in class!

@tess_lt Point well-taken. Thanks for the correction. Libraries and bookstores are the two places I feel safest and happiest!
English
@DrJBerkowitz Libraries are still serving their communities...digitally instead of in person :) But I agree, bookstore is a lovely word as well.. #librariesmatter #publiclibraries

@DrJBerkowitz Hey, Dr Berkowitz, a tweet worthy of your work. How about Onomatopoeia? Not necessarily as "beautiful" but more fun and unique both in pronunciation as it is fun and its relation to the rest of the English language.

COVID-19 might be a worldwide call for us all to be vegetarians. Rearrange the letters of CARNIVOROUS and you can spell CORONAVIRUS! (Help my first-ever tweet go viral!)

@berkowitz_josh Understood - no longer have voice mail in my tool kit!

One helpful time management "hack" is to let your voice mail fill up and then just not empty it. Leaving a voice mail in 2018 is one of the meanest things you can do to someone. Keeping your voice mail box full is playing effective defense on time management.
