In this collaboration with Stefan Dollinger, I was able to engage in analytical attention toward Canadian attitudes toward the idea of "Canadian Standard English," and editorial attention toward Australia. It's been fun. doi.org/10.1080/0726... 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺

“After it ended, the Belgian team’s social media account had a message to the U.S. on Twitter: “Overturn this.” Perfect. #WellPlayed #Belgium

Belgium beats, then trolls, U.S. team on Monday night

Even though it was tied, 1-1, after Malik Tillman scored another goal on a free kick just outside the penalty area, it never felt close.

I have released formant-extraction-skill, a skillset that takes interviews from raw audio to a vowel-formant CSV in a single prompt. Run in Claude Cowork (desktop) or Claude Code (CLI). github.com/wordsmith189/formant-extraction-skill v1 covers AmE only; bilingual support planned for v2.

It is absolutely a choice.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

3x this year, people (strangers) have come up to me and said "you know who you look like, right?" -- they mean the actor Matthew Lillard. Well - Tarantino just gave us (me and Matthew) a bad review, and I must say, I'm not that pleased! www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

"Blackfacing" is not a word... neither is "home office" or "handy". The only problem is: clearly, they are words... just not in British or American English.

Dieser Satz ist sehr wiederverwendbar, gerade als zweiter Satz in der Unterzeile von der online-Version einer Zeitung: "Wer jetzt glaubt, damit sei schon alles gesagt, irrt gewaltig." Das passt überall, oder? @zeit.de 📰

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem. >>

this exists it is called thinking

Und wie geht es nun mit Russland und der Ukraine weiter? Die „Berliner Zeitung“ weiß, wer es wirklich weiß: ChatGPT. Klar, weil die KI „über mehr Informationen verfügt als alle internationalen Experten zusammen und sich somit vermutlich ein umfassenderes Bild machen kann.“ 🤷‍♂️

There's a trend going around TikTok to have ChatGPT create visual alphabets (because the output is always full of ridiculous mistakes). I generated this one to use an example to help explain WHY AI image generators make these kinds of mistakes. It turned out even better/worse than expected.

Second conference day about to begin, we are looking forward to talks by @larshinrichs.site, @heidevolkening.bsky.social, @ldpres.bsky.social, @theresaheyd.bsky.social, @ryfountain.bsky.social and Chloé Thomas. Cringe in dialectological fieldwork, Bad Poetry, neopronoun affect, and more!

I say between 10 and 20 because it depends on things like the variety of English in question and whether we're counting only monophthongs.

Lasst uns über Scham reden! Über Fremdscham und Unverschämtheiten, über peinliche Versehen und den Wunsch, im Boden zu versinken. @kreienbrink.bsky.social hat ein sehr gutes Buch zum Thema geschrieben - und er wird mit mir darüber sprechen, nächsten Dienstag! Online! Ihr seid schamlos eingeladen.

Einladung: Talkrunde mit Matthias Kreienbrink (24.6.)

Scham – wenige Gefühle sind menschlicher. Matthias Kreienbrink hat ein sehr lesenswertes Buch geschrieben über dieses machtvolle Gefühl, das wir alle gut kennen.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it?
