Pronouns in the news, 1930 ed: antedating and author identified. Richard Tingley, prolific crossword setter, put three common-gender pronoun clues in a puzzle that ran in late 1930; this one appeared in the Rockford (IL) Star, Dec. 28, p. 23. The puzzle ran the next day in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

Crossword with three common gender pronoun clues: 13 across: him or her, a suggested common gender pronoun; 18 across, he or she, a suggested common gender pronoun. 40 across, that one; he, she, or it, suggested common gender pronoun, third person.

Düsseldorf has a (very big and nice) public library right next to the train station and I think it's the best idea in Civil Engineering ever 😍.

I have sadly not taken any fotos, but this is basically me after two wonderful days of the second edition of Linguistic Intersections of Language and Gender (organised by @div-ling.org and @hhu.de). I am extremely grateful to the organisers and the students assistants, who have done an amazing job 💜

My legacy: being the one that all students and former classmates text even years after leaving a university to ask about admin stuff.

One chapter deserves special mention: it's based on the fantastic course work of my students in a class on gender linguistic methods @hhu.de. In "Form identity & gendered associations", we explore how similar forms influence gender associations across L1/L2. Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors!
