Archived Posts from this Category. Tue 16 Nov 2010. Posted by jangari under Bilingualism. This is evidently my first post in some six months and I have to confess, I have been thinking about throwing in the towel altogether. Two of the reasons for this were that I have been writing (although again, not lately) on Fully (sic). Crikey’s language blog, and that I was so busy teaching over the past few semesters in Sydney that I couldn’t put in the time or effort that this blog deserved. Which is a co-educat...

Mon 30 May 2011. Taking Slut Back: How a word gets reclaimed. Posted by jangari under English. This post will obviously contain language that may offend. So stop now if you’re a prude. Cross-posted at Fully (sic). In Melbourne on Saturday, more than 2000 women and men gathered for a protest called. For a comprehensive report on the Melbourne slutwalk and here. For an excellent column by Catherine Deveny (plus hundreds of disparate comments that I can’t be bothered with). This interests me linguistically ...

It appears to be for a cleaner in a gym. Apart from the obvious euphemy in the job description, I was intrigued by the subversion of the job ad genre. Here is the ad in full:.

Googleganger: Word of the Year? » matjjin-nehen
http://www.matjjin-nehen.com/2011/02/04/googleganger-word-of-the-year
Fri 4 Feb 2011. Googleganger: Word of the Year? Posted by jangari under English. I read today that Macquarie Dictionary have named their Word of the Year for 2010:. The word is immediately understandable; a googleganger is someone that has the same name as you, whom you find when egosearching on Google. Quite obviously it is a blend of Google and doppelganger. However I have a few apprehensions about calling it the word of the year. It’s been around a lot longer than a year, as this timeline. Ignore the ...

Something fishy with MyKi » matjjin-nehen
http://www.matjjin-nehen.com/2011/04/20/something-fishy-with-myki
Wed 20 Apr 2011. Something fishy with MyKi. Posted by jangari under Linguistics. But I propose that there’s a deeper seeded reason for the failings of the MyKi, which will also explain the failings of the Tcard. Some of the Snapper card formats on offer. You can get small keyring based Octopuses with mobile phone straps, and younger users might be more at home with little. I think it’s quite obvious what’s wrong with MyKi and the Tcard: they haven’t used. Update date=”April 21, 2011″. London’s Oyst...
