The language of white supremacy:

- "I don't see colour"
- "the benefits of western civilization"
- "anti-woke"
- "reverse racism"
- "We live in a meritocracy"
- "Please keep the conversation civil"
- "professionalism"
- "Where are you (really) from?"

A standard language does not exist before a standard language ideology.

For an allegedly linguistic category, "native English speaker" sure is understood in terms of race and nationality.

Unless my brain is donezo--a real possibility--I think everything I published this year was publishing advice in the Chronicle--6 columns in 2024, 8 total. Next one on how to write a kickass response to reader reports. (The big C in the thumbnail is for Colesworthy) www.chronicle.com/author/rebec...

A lot of native speakers of English use 'to lay' instead of 'to lie':
'I'm laying here.'

This isn't a recent thing:
it started in the 14th century.

Several sister languages of English, such as Frisian and Afrikaans, even merged the verbs for "to lie" and "to lay" completely.

You know the audiobook is good when you start finding more things to clean or organize around the house just so you can keep listening a bit longer…

Have I read all the books I own? No. Will I continue to buy more while also re-reading my favs? Absolutely. I live in a lawless land. #booksky #books #reading

Hello, #booksky! I’m really enjoying “James”. It’s the first fiction book I’ve read this year. I’ve been reading a lot of non-fiction, and this is a welcome change. Any book you think is a *must read* that you recommend I finish before the year ends?!🤞🏾🙏🏾 #books #booklover #booknerd
