Nice description, at language log, of the one-sided feud between descriptivists and prescriptivists . It seems to me there are echoes of the science versus religion conflict, even if that, IMO,  is also largely fought by straw men.

In other news, I didn't get that job either.

Plea to paid users

Would a kind paid user, I don't seem to be paid anymore, syndicate  Martha Barnette's . . . Orts
RSS feed for the world   LJ users me to read?

It's linguistic ephemera and fancies.

Just paste http://marthabarnette.blogspot.com/atom.xml into the box at the bottom of the syndication page and give it a name.

Thanks in the form of smiles and/or spreadsheets.
