@CalumDouglas1 Don’t tease us with new episodes like that; I miss the show desperately.

Further to earlier posts about how high general wastage was in WW2, in the first four months of 1944, more RAF fighters were lost in accidents than by enemy action.

@charles_loder @brianwdavidson FWIW: I just discovered that Logos went subscription; my comment was regarding the 'previous' Academic version of Logos, not the current one which I haven't evaluated.

[Luke Letellier @LukeLetellier]

@charles_loder @brianwdavidson Are you looking for online or offline? https://t.co/GUOhRvFkTo would be a good source if online is ok.

As for Logos, take a look at their "Academic" plans (not 'educational'). They don't promote those as much because they're less expensive, but they have the source texts.

Do babies develop accents even before they can speak conventionally?

The short answer is yes… and these linguistic markers begin even sooner than you might think.

So many of you tagged me in this video yesterday featuring an infant that babbles with the same Scouse accent as his mother.

Other than “no” he doesn’t speak a single conventional word, but listen to how the rhythm and intonation of his vocalizations mirror those to which he is exposed daily.

As hearing becomes functional during the third trimester, infants are exposed to the distinct patterns of their mothers’ native language - with studies suggesting newborns can already distinguish (and prefer) what will become their native tongue only hours after birth.

Incredibly this learning doesn’t wait until the babbling stage to evidence itself.

Research suggests that even the cries of newborns reflect this preference.

That’s right: babies cry with an accent.

One major study on the topic showed that French babies cry with a rising intonation, while German infants favor a falling melody - both reflecting the patterns of their native languages.

We’re only just beginning to understand the deep learning that begins in utero. It’s just more evidence that the period from prenatal to three is the most critical window in all of human development.

This is my way of saying the bots farms are waking up and they are about to try to make you hate your neighbor.

Don’t fall for it.

Amazing neckerchief detail in this marble statue made by French sculptor Louis Philippe Mouchy in 1781.

@whoisinspace Woah there, toilet grammar is important!

As Europe celebrate Nazi defeat, French opinion polling company IFOP asks France which country contributed most to Germany's downfall; 57% choose the Soviet Union as most important Allied nation (survey shown on the far left).

@nosemangr I love books a great deal, but software books go out of date far too quickly to be relevant.

On this day in 1983, a record-breaking 106 million Americans tune in to watch the final episode of M*A*S*H. Set during the Korean War, the series ran 11 years; the war itself spanned just three.
