Some articles will conflict with your world view, (heck, many conflict with *my* views!). Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing, not a bad thing. No one learns anything in a self-reinforcing echo chamber.<br /><br />But if it's too difficult for you to come face to face with something you disagree with, this is okay too. It's probably a sign you should find something else to read.<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-58780542576635336832013-12-13T12:56:08.175-08:002013-12-13T12:56:08.175-08:00Well link to a ridiculous argument and get a snark...Well link to a ridiculous argument and get a snarky answer. Gee why would someone take a job at Walmart or a Bangladeshi sweat shop?

Perhaps even below the spam comments I often get that contain embedded links to sites selling illegal Viagra. <br /><br />Again, just a helpful reminder. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-22633311441854230152013-12-13T10:58:35.987-08:002013-12-13T10:58:35.987-08:00If working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop that is lik...If working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop that is likely to fall and kill you is so bad, why do so many want to work there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-39509401547263454402013-12-13T10:26:31.344-08:002013-12-13T10:26:31.344-08:00Thank you Jen!

Linguistics research and its implications are often quite misleadingly reported in the press.<br /><br />For people who are curious about more details of the uptalk study, and how SoCal uptalk is similar to and different from uptalk patterns in other regional varieties of English, see <a href="http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=8879" rel="nofollow">this recent post on Language Log</a> (including the comments; one is from one of the authors of the SoCal uptalk study).Jen the linguistnoreply@blogger.com
