@wildLanguaging Not a bad idea, but don't forgo a good throwing around of terms for a lack of the energy to give an explainer on a given day imo

@stephenfry listening to your fabulous narration of 1984. Great work as always! I'm curious though, did you have as much trouble with "he deposited it" as you did with "he pocketed it" in the Harry Potter books?

Just watched the discussion between Prof Jakelin Troy and Lesley Woods on Re-Defining Collaborative Linguistic Research as part of a Linguistics Decolonisation study group.

Working on a phonemic transcription of #SumerIsIcumenIn. <wde> appears to be the word <wode>. Does that mean itt would be more historically accurate to pronounce it /woːdə/ rather than the /uːdə/ I've heard all over the place?

Haven't been on here in a while.
Just finished the essay for my Syntax course.

Wrote a comparative analysis of Passive Voice in Italian and English.

Once it's been marked, I'll chuck it up online. Might keep working on it. I was really feeling the research bug while writing it.

@PhillyD you might already be aware, but you're gonna want to check out the situation in New Zealand right now...

Also see Australian Senator Fraser Anning's response, and why Pewdiepie's name is coming up. So much going on here

[Nicholas K Watson @NicholasKWatson]

Last week of new content in my OF maths course and we're expanding and simplifying binomials... Yeah, I think I'll be able to pass this one.

@tonijgage we have this mythology of adulthood built up from our childhood influences but it's not quite the same as what we expect tjmt

@tonijgage I'm sure almost everyone does from time to time

Does anyone have one of those plunger-type coffee strainers?
After a long while, finally started… https://t.co/ShJUa7hJsY

Again, doing some of the same content in today's Maths lecture as last week's Physics lecture.

[Nicholas K Watson @NicholasKWatson]

When content from your maths lecture earlier in the day is relevant in your physics lecture later in the day 😂👌🖒

@UONStudents A friend of mine lost a phone (white Samsung Galaxy S4) in the shortland building. What can she do?
