Linguists dabbling in genetics? What a shocking concept!

A Montana Public Radio segment. She's brilliant, but she went populist.

Oh, also, no one "phones" work but Canucks. We "call" work.

Some of us just have to say "the interstate" and everyone knows exactly which road we mean. Yep, the interstate. The one that goes from Seattle to Boston and gives us a polite nod in between.

Although it was a fun moment when Elder Couzelis (of my sig fame) and I discovered that we live on the same road. He's from upstate New York.
