Descriptivism isn’t “anything goes” | Motivated Grammar
https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/descriptivism-isnt-anything-goes
Descriptivism isn’t “anything goes”. November 7, 2011 in English. Questions to the reader. One of the most common claims levelled against descriptivists, and against linguists of every stripe, is that our linguistic philosophy amounts to “anything goes”. Whenever anyone says something, the thought is, we will take it as a valid sentence in their language. But undeniably ungrammatical utterances like These is a big problem. Do I think they’re ungrammatical? In two of his posts. But it’s important en...

The Bronsonian: November 2007
http://bronsonian.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. It's inefficient. There's too much red tape. Nothing ever gets done because people spend most of their time arguing. And since when do people know what's best for them. You shouldn't vote if you don't know anything about politics, right? Let the other people decide. I want to live my life. I don't have time for this bullshit. And so it goes. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." - Winston Churchill. Others ...

What’s this all about? | Gay in Public
https://gayinpublic.wordpress.com/introduction
On Being Out in America. What’s this all about? What’s this all about? This is a blog in which I explore the reactions, sometimes fun, oftentimes appalling, that I have experienced when displaying my orientation in public, through simple acts like holding another man’s hand. While people tend to think public displays of affection are cute in straight couples, they don’t always extend that courtesy to same-sex ones. Leave one →. August 4, 2008 1:00 am. March 28, 2009 2:38 am. I saw it on towleroad.com.

Slow down a second | Motivated Grammar
https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/slow-down-a-second
Slow down a second. August 16, 2009 in adjectives. Have you ever had to confront a dirty truth about one of your childhood heroes? I graduated from high school and went on to college at Wilson’s alma mater, excited about all the stuff on campus named for him or otherwise honoring him. And then, during my junior year, I started reading about how Wilson was actually a pretty heavy-duty racist, even for his time. (This came from reading Lies My Teacher Told Me. Yes, you read that right. 1b) *Varla insists o...

The seductive fear that you’re using words wrong | Motivated Grammar
https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/the-seductive-fear-that-youre-using-words-wrong
The seductive fear that you’re using words wrong. December 5, 2013 in bad arguments. You wonder, could it be I’m using it wrong? That niggling uncertainty kicks in, the same niggling uncertainty that’s pushed you to educate yourself all these years. It creeps further, darkening your mind. Have I been using words wrong? Your breath quickens — how many others have thought heard me say them before this stranger came up and told me I was wrong? Have I used one of them lately? Have I been judged? Which she de...

The Bronsonian: Marching for Democracy
http://bronsonian.blogspot.com/2007/06/marching-for-democracy.html
Monday, June 25, 2007. Two days ago, I took part (for the first time) in Hong Kong's July 1 Marches. Rally turnout highest for 3 years," say organiser. But not many of my friends at home participated in this march. It wouldn't be far from the truth to say that most of them believe Hong Kong isn't yet ready for democracy. I don't blame them; my family and I would agree. Most people are indifferent to politics until it infringes upon their profits and interests. What then is my rationale for marching?
