@msatokotsubi fellow “haafu” former Japan resident and linguist! if you’re on other sns similar to this please make contact! I enjoyed the @lingthusiasm episode

@sportseconprof I wonder why the hill between 30 and 40 (as opposed to 40-50 or 0-10)

I often question my ability to teach, especially in an online setting. I am in that moment right now. I just finished grading an exam for an online class. The following is the grade distribution

Cmon guys why are you still here

@Allie_In_Chains Too many Klansmen here, which is close but not what the song was about

@anthonyocampo We had to read this book at UCI circa 2002 amazon.com/Rainbow-Gangs-…

friends who have studied criminology (either undergrad or graduate studies), I have a question: how often did you read about or discuss asian americans in your criminology classes? how many of your criminology professors were experts in asian americans?

@ThatYuta Good for you for teaching the real living language

Wow, some people seem to get really upset when they are told that their grammar in Japanese textbooks doesn't quite reflect real-life grammar

@Allie_In_Chains Dragonlord! Eric Peterson was a surprisingly strong vocalist (and wielder of swords in the album booklet)

@snowgall @lynneguist Because Sandler rhymes it with Chanukkah

@lynneguist What's always bugged me is the transliteration - it seems to be literal letter-by-letter from יאַרמלקע but I always heard it as just /'yaməkə/ Seeing it spelled "yarmulke" for the first time was completely baffling. (n.b. I grew up in the 70's - 90's east coast USA)

@Ishikawa_Sachi I prefer “hard to exist”

@ScriptingJapan Looks very interesting.

Just finished Heinrich's The Making of Monolingual Japan. A clear and comprehensive overview of how Japan hid it's linguistic diversity during modernization, and the contemporary repercussions. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand the modern history of Japanese.

@guenonista Pascal

What is your favorite extinct language?

@jayallen_uj Get a dog and go to dog parks

@tesolmatthew Through blogs?

@erinalberty Love the rocks, think people’s smiles are insincere, basically a food desert (Southern Utah)

Have you hosted international visitors in Utah? What stuff did they LOVE and what stuff were you surprised they did not love? Any thrilling/disappointing destinations? e.g. My Swedish friends loved the whole desert — even the boring bits — but thought Park City was "fake."

@tesolmatthew Does it have to do with U of Leicester

@tesolmatthew We’ve been following each other for a while now and I don’t remember why - but happy birthday!

@Allie_In_Chains I saw BG with Symphony X opening - wish I’d bought a couple t shirts that day

@lynneguist Quviviq would like a word

@belkthepoet Or just serve up impossibly delicious rhetoric

Ok y’all, should I continue being a rhetoric prof/poet/WPA (which I enjoy and am pretty ok at) -OR- Open a small, financially unsustainable but impossibly delicious farm-to-table restaurant somewhere that will likely ruin my life Thoughts??
