Linguist and SLP at NYU. Trying to raise a bilingual child in a mostly monolingual household.
Still scratching my head over "In ancient Athens, wealthy citizens supported choruses, schools, and temples, on pain of being sentenced to exile or death. From the late Middle Ages, philosophers proposed that, instead of banishing the rich, society should exploit their bounty."

I have had an eye on this for a while! ‘May you please modify the record?’ I’ve seen it exclusively in bureaucratic email exchanges and thought it might be some form of admin-speak. The people I’ve heard it from are my age or older.
