Referring to Who Stole Feminism?, The War Against Boys and some similar titles... The following is tangentially related to Latinx. It's about the way ...

More on Latinx: According to Pew Research, "About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but of that 25%, just 3% Use It". This is a link to...
A good case can be made for inclusion of feminine pronouns when the pronoun represents a group of people. English, as you know, long ago established t...
Your OP touches on many of my linguistic pet peeves. A particularly egregious practice is replacing "pregnant woman" with "pregnant person". Why would...
One of the basic building blocks of human experience is loneliness. It is common and it is painful. I've done that often enough -- if one can call a r...
I definitely would NOT do this to scallops, but cod fish, especially left-overs, goes well with stewed tomatoes which are generally slightly sweetened...
The time before the last I had scallops some of you had't been born yet; it was at Legal Seafood in Boston. They were heavenly. The next time (15 year...
