A full course on introductory linguistics is coming to the channel in the next week.
Expect a 5-6 hour video that covers all introductory phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics that you'll see in a real university course.

I encourage thinkers to use their brains to evaluate likely outcomes first, then to move onto more nuanced takes later.
The most complicated and sophisticated answer is not usually the correct one. Simplicity is key.

@JBradshaw01 I’ve had it a couple times. We can’t respond to them though. The information is confidential to the student. The parents get very mad, but that’s what spam filters are for.
Education in Canada needs to change.
Make high school significantly harder. Allow unperforming students to opt into trade schools from Gr 10-12 instead of high school so that students with high academic achievement can actually be challenged and learn.
It’s scary how illogical this message is.
How does banning cellphones have anything to do with the budget? A ban doesn’t imply that the budget isn’t being adjusted.
Remember. These illogical people are teaching your kids.
The Minister of Education might want to change the channel, but the truth is that banning cell phones in #onted does absolutely nothing to address the chronic underfunding of our schools! Students, families, educators, and ed workers deserve more. #onpoli https://t.co/4hZJTtP0wP
Schools these days are devoid of focus and safety.
Why would students focus when there are no nationally administered exams that require a basic amount of knowledge to even graduate?
How are students safe when having a wrong political opinion gets them in trouble?
Words matter.
Comments like this suggest schools are void of focus, safety and common sense, and undermine the amazing things that happen in #onted schools each day.
Students, educators, and education workers deserve to be supported with adequate funding and resources, not undermined at every turn. Do better.
Have you ever heard of NACLO? They’re fun linguistics problems aimed at people with no knowledge of linguistics.
Let’s solve one together!

Good educators don’t argue with emotions. They stick to the facts and support the development of logical thinking.
Society can’t make progress when leaders reason with their emotions.
It’s the second to last video on English Sentence Structure! It was a fun series. If you like patterns and puzzles, you’ll love sentence structure!
