When I was in the army, people often thanked me for my service. I'm trying now to thank custodial, grocery, delivery, maintenance, and other essential workers for #KeepingUsTogether. https://t.co/XQNF2vAQq4

@GeorgeLakoff 9/11 changed the way Americans think about first responders. Could coronavirus make Americans appreciate the marginalized workers who keep society running--cleaners, grocery stockers, delivery persons, utility crews..and make their working conditions a moral issue?

1.5+ years living in the UK, and my son still sounds pretty much like an American. Except when an Usher song comes on the radio and he says, "Oh, I like [ʊʃə]."

@dalaigrama I did a comparison of FAVE results before and after careful hand realignment. Short version is, it doesn't affect what FAVE extracts much. Can send the draft ms, if you're in the mood for correlation coefficients.

Daughter asked me to find "Mummy Pig," and was very mad when I returned the Peppa Pig figurine instead of the figurine from her farm animal set. There's a lesson somewhere in that for the ling section on Reference...

[Christopher Strelluf @KC_Speech]

@FernRiddell The BBC story at https://t.co/M5jbSgr9Uh uses your first name to refer to you. Could I ask if you invited them to do this, or if they chose first over last name on their own?

I want Word's grammar-check to have another option besides ignoring its recommendations. Something like, "Nope, Word, you're wrong."
