Thanks again @charysbrussell.bsky.social!

Congrats on the publication!!!

I am immediately adding "leastly" to my vocabulary. I'll frindle it into being a real word.

This isn't quite the same, but iirc 'went' used to be the past-tense form of 'wend', but now we use it as the past-tense form of 'go'.

I think if I had more practice writing abstracts, I would get better over time...I have plenty of practice drafting and writing papers and reports, but abstracts?? I've not had nearly enough practice to get good at them.

IMO, the level of assumed background knowledge of a plenary talk at a general linguistics conference should be pitched around first year grad student

2 reasons:
- There are students in the audience!
- Profs who don't specialize in the topic probably last touched it in grad school
