I’m on blooskie now. The language jones. If you liked my tweets and bon mots, I’ll keep tweeting there. If you’re still here, maybe don’t be?

[Language Jones @languagejones]

What sounds more interesting: a comprehensive introduction to linguistics for regular people, or a language learning accelerator using scientific best practices and cutting edge tech (AI, LLMs, etc.)?

@Badgerhound1 Hey thanks. Level of detail for a pop ling vid is a balancing act, but I clearly made the wrong choice here, from the feedback I’ve gotten. There’s a real crisis in academia but no need to worry about my firearm knowledge. I hope you and your dog had a meaningful Veterans Day.

@a66mike99 @aakashgupta I’m increasingly skeptical of duolingo, but I’m even more skeptical of ChatGPT, especially for a language like Hebrew. I’d love to see actual output from this, or OP, you know, speaking fluent Hebrew

@Maggie_McNeill @donkeyboy_jack @VoidAtoms Your embedded videos have ads. So you’re sharing twice and many ads AND not even benefiting from it. Not living up to your description in bio if you ask me. I can’t speak to whether it’s better; I’ll leave that to others. TTFN, ta-ta for now!

[Language Jones @languagejones]

@Maggie_McNeill @donkeyboy_jack @VoidAtoms I love that you just shared your own blog and called it better. Cold blooded, but I admire the confidence. But you’ve got literally twice as many ads, since you’ve embedded two videos.

Are we WRONG about most FAMOUS LINGUISTICS experiment??

@fydbak I use “clearly” in at least two different places. Both of which are in describing specific phenomena that, indeed, are clear, and which in the aggregate inform my professional opinion.

It is my professional opinion as a trained linguist and phonetician that Rich Lowry absolutely did say the “n-word” on the Megyn Kelly Show. I detail the phonetic, articulatory, and psycholinguistic evidence here:

Coming back from a Twitter Hiatus to share this thread and article. I’ve been waiting excitedly for this to come to print!

@Jacsqueeze Still writing!

@languagesimp That is so cool

I should go back to Europe 😂

@psych_yo_mind @KateMcGonigall It’s mutual!

[Language Jones @languagejones]

@DWKPhD I can confirm that I was not. But now I’m concerned about my doppelgänger

[Language Jones @languagejones]

@sociolinguista Sounds like somebody has worked retail

It’s wild to have watched “cope” become its own antonym over the course of like 3 years

Starting to really get into the meat of it. This Sunday, 2pm EST, on YouTube
