Elen Le Foll 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇩🇪

In the first session of my "Introduction to data analysis in R for linguists and language education scholars" course, I asked students about their motivation for attending in an anonymous survey.

The course is optional and their answers range from brutal honesty ("It fitted my schedule and there were not many other options") to genuine interest ("Really wanna grasp some cool data knowledge"). I don't know who taught this student's last #statistics class but kudos on them for keeping up the motivation: "Learn about statistics in linguistics in a hands-on course which teaches me more than my previous one (i.e. more than nothing)"!

But hands down my favourite motivation has to be: "My boyfriend kept complaining about R for a year and I wanted to see if it was actually that difficult or also a little fun". So, there we go, this course just got a new objective: prove a boyfriend wrong! 😂

First course slide with course title: Introduction to Data Analysis in R for linguists and language education scholars. The name of the instructor: Dr. Elen le Foll, my e-mail address and affiliation (Department of Romance Languages, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Cologne) and artwork by Allison Horst showing to pink monsters at a colourful gate that reads "welcome".

📖 **Enough Is Enuf by Gabe Henry review – the battle to reform English spelling**

Matthew Cantor

“_In his amusing and enlightening new book, Gabe Henry traces the history of these efforts, beginning with a 12th-century monk named Orrmin, continuing through the beginnings of American English and the movement’s 19th-century heyday, finally arriving at textspeak._”

Artificial intelligence isn't funny or playful, but it is confident, whether it's right or wrong. @aftermath.site's Riley Macleod looks at the latest example of this — if you ask it the meaning of a made-up idiom, it will tell you what it means — and why it's a problem. "In one apt example, noted language genius and Defector writer Albert Burneko asked Google to define 'ask a six-headed mouse, get a three-legged stool,' which Google says 'suggests asking the wrong question or seeking the wrong advice from someone unqualified can lead to a nonsensical or unhelpful response.'"

Warum sagt die Ansage in Aufzügen manchmal "Türe öffnet" und manchmal "Tür öffnet"? Und ist "Das Mädchen lacht mit ihrer Mutter" oder "mit seiner Mutter" richtig? 🤔 Im neuen #DGfS macht Schule-Video erklärt Julia Hübner ihre Forschung und deren Schulbezug:

I was just recalling a conversation in recent years. Not sure when. It involves something like an #eggcorn, but with several different acronyms as sources. Perhaps an eggcornym?

I was somewhere, maybe a mechanic, where I had to receive a receipt or other paperwork that was several pages. The guy behind the counter apologized for using a paperclip, saying, “My stapler is AOL.”

Apparently he was conflating AWOL (absent without leave) & SOL (shit outta luck) to produce AOL (America Online). I had the idea he was grasping for the right phrase, trying to come up with AWOL. The premise behind an eggcorn is that it makes sense of an utterance whose origins are not known to the speaker. Instead, he might have realized the error & corrected it if he listened to a recording or something. So this might be a little different thing.

Still funny.
