@FlySWISS A SWISS customer care employee told me he was going to end the call because there were no supervisors available to pass my call to and I was being difficult and should think of the other customers on line behind me. What is going on? This is unacceptable.

@youbroadband My internet connection is out AGAIN. I call the customer care phone number and get promises that the backend team will call me back, but they rarely do. What can I do to get my internet connection working again? So frustrating...

@AndrewWatsonTTB's session on working memory led me to this recent study on linguistic and cognitive diversity: "The word order of languages predicts native speakers’ working memory." Fascinating! https://t.co/1tlMP5iS7d

Languages are of vital importance to linguistic minorities seeking to maintain their identity, sometimes in the face of discrimination. Let's protect humanity's linguistic diversity - the hallmark of an inclusive society & key to counter intolerance/racism. #MotherLanguageDay
