The Taxing Etymology of Ask

Annie Subjunctive · « **Reply #803 on:** March 28, 2016, 12:20:51 PM »

That was pretty great. It also made me a little sad about lost etymologies that we may never find. Linguistics is like a field where you can kind of find out cool stuf . . . for a while, until you go further and further back in time and then you have no way of ever knowing. It gets more nihilistic the further back in time you go.

Yeah, me too. There are a lot of questions in historical linguistics that will never be answered unless someone develops a time machine.

On Saturday I presented at a conference for the first time. Here's a short post on my presentation with a link to a PDF of my slides.

On a Collision Course with Reality

You know I disagree with you on many of the rules. But this one -- which, I will note, I not only have never heard of, but which boggles the physicist part of me, as well as the grammar prescriptivist part -- is simply bizarre. I am totally with you on this one.
