Teach and research the sociolinguistics of dude, gender, Pittsburgh, stance and stance taking. Habitual anaphoric reference: he/him but they/them is fine

New edition of Language, Gender and Sexuality: An Introduction has a publication date of July 1st and is ready for pre-order. I've reorganized and added a bunch of stuff: https://t.co/GTHk3auIzm

@CreeCoder This tech is even older and pretty good too.

@LinuxHandbook Well I was 24 when Linus made it in 91, so not gonna get to 22. It was about 97 I first used it, so I was 30.

Best explanation I've seen in the genre of "why do people feel so bad about economy when it is 'objectively' good?" https://t.co/HsCkCQCThk

@DannyDrinksWine Thank you for prompting a re-watch!

"We should be concerned about an educator turning to generative AI to help with their workload by offloading tasks because doing so does nothing to address the underlying material conditions that caused the teacher to turn to AI in the first place."

@Dashiellsteven @osgamer74 There's no research about the comparative frequencies of use for dude and mate in the US and Australia, respectively.

[Scott F. Kiesling @pittprofdude]

@Dashiellsteven @osgamer74 Dude as first used above is a referring term to a person, not the address term. Dude and mate in Oz and US *as referring terms* are different. As address terms, they are very similar (I've lived in both places) although do slightly different things as the cultures are different.

Please don't write that your paper 'aims to' do something. Do or do not, there is no 'aims to.'

[Scott F. Kiesling @pittprofdude]

@joshshepperd Peace. Like a hippy. 'Peace out' if you're really feeling it. Because we need more of it, and it's a good thing to wish someone.

@Kateness8 Dude works too, but perhaps I'm showing my age. Although I am backed by research here 🙂
