One of my daily reads (along with MetaTalk and a handful of webcomics) is a faboo linguistics-centric group blog called Language Log. Great stuff from a few regulars and a few not-so-regulars.

For the last month or so, I’ve been reading slowly through the archives, moving steadily backward after consuming the (too few!) daily updates — I’m currently in mid-August 2005, so these archives should last me a good long time. And just now, I hit a nice little copy-editing snafu that Arnold Zwicky managed to catch. Glad someone is watching the headlines for me.

It’s been an odd week or so. Thanksgiving and all the to-do that comes with it. Switching off the novel and on to a bunch of other neglected and new projects. Treading a thin line with Brian that has led to a resolve to form a new band.

And I haven’t really put anything up here in that time. My bad.

If it is any consolation, I can tell you that, in the history of MetaTalk, the word a$$croft has been used exactly once. Such a brave, dignified hapax legomenon!
