Quantum - Rotten Circuits
http://wererogue.livejournal.com/185204.html
Quantum - Rotten Circuits. April 9th, 2014. One line in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Near the beginning of the otherwise enjoyable film leaped out at me, grabbed me by the frontal lobe and started kicking me directly in my sense of disbelief. We need a quantum increase in military technology". I am not sure that word, quantum, means what the movie thinks that it means. The dictionary defines the word quantum (non-relevant contexts removed) as:. Http:/ www.oxforddictionaries.com/defini. Etc etc...

A feisty embuggerance | Glossographia
https://glossographia.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/a-feisty-embuggerance
Embuggerance, E., and H. Feisty. 2008. The linguistics of laughter. English Today. 1, no 04: 47-47. After I stopped laughing, I set to figuring out what was going on. 1) I quickly discarded the theory that an unlikely duo of scholars actually had this pair of names – although that would have been too awesome for words. In fact, no other article listed in Google Scholar. Has an author named ‘Embuggerance’ (although there are a couple other Feistys. By Walter Nash. It’s perfectly ordinary and non...Krasis,...

Mandarin vs. Cantonese in America | Glossographia
https://glossographia.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/mandarin-vs-cantonese-this-time-its-interpersonal
Mandarin vs. Cantonese in America. There’s an interesting article. Well, it looks like the positive aspect of this is that in these cases Mandarin isn’t so much supplanting Cantonese as it is supplementing it. Even if the overall proportion of Cantonese speakers to Mandarin speakers suffers, children are gaining an invaluable third system of insight into thought and into the world, when most children in the US have to settle for a single, insular tongue. Nice blog I’ll be back! October 22, 2009 at 6:10 am.

Still embuggered up | Glossographia
https://glossographia.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/still-embuggered-up
Over five years ago, I published what was (for a long time) to be my most popular post here at Glossographia, A feisty embuggerance. In which I described in the wild a particularly bizarre sort of optical character recognition error that found its way into Google Scholar’s metadata, resulting in an otherwise ordinary paper authored by the unlikely duo of Escalate Embuggerance and Holistic Feisty (Embuggerance and Feisty 1985). After the folks at Language Log. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. February 2, 2015.

Why adjunct labor matters to all of us | Glossographia
https://glossographia.wordpress.com/2015/02/25/why-adjunct-labor-matters-to-all-of-us
Why adjunct labor matters to all of us. Today is National Adjunct Walkout Day. And if National Anthropology Day (from my last post) is not going to become a statutory holiday, you can be doubly sure that this one won’t either. It has come about in order to raise awareness of and provoke action against a serious problem: the working conditions of adjunct faculty in academia. Along with organizations like the New Faculty Majority. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details be...
