"We wanted to move away from the idea that language and linguistics is primarily about English, which is one of the misconceptions that students often come in with."

Greatly enjoying this workshop on the @lingroadshow at #CoEDLsummerschool!

It's been brought to our attention that this humble cleaning implement has more than one name. What do you call it? Which region do you come from?

Best of luck to all the students sitting their VCE English Language exam today! #EngLang #VCE

(there's also a link to a short survey - if you use the show in teaching we'd love to know how we can make it as useful as possible!)

@joshuaclx @adrianleemann @jshkatz "bubbler" in New South Wales, ACT and for many in Queensland, but they do go in for "bubble tap" in a bit of north-west Victoria! Mix of drink/drinking tap/fountain elsewhere.
