My students and I have done several experiments to create a disgusting

garbage in the trash can, left a cup with dried on yogurt and a piece of

There are report findings by two p[sychologists about longevity and
happiness.For examples: it is better off to remain single than to get married
and then divorce; worrying and pessimisimi contribute to
longevity and happiness.The worry and pessimism factors were first

One of my students used video examples from some tv survival show where the

Not to dump on everyone's fun but there are a few points to keep in
mind.
(1) What people refer to as grammar is a set of conventions about
the usage of a language that have developed over time and have been
influenced by class distinctions, social and cultural factors, economics,

Hi,
Even those who believe in Chomskyan syntax acknowledge that what children hear
in the environment is used in language acquisition. No one believes that the
grammar of English is innate or the grammar of French is innate. There is some
delicate interplay of environmental input and innate
I like the video. However, I am not that concerned about the use of
'data'. When we speak about the results of an experiment we don't say,
Participant 1 recalled 12 words, participant 2 scored 9 words, We
might condense it into one number, often a mean. Or, after comparing 2 or

if link works

Datum is virtually absent from 1800 to 2000, whereas data becomes increasingly
frequent. So
One very positive result of the film, The King's Speech, is that it

those less fluent speakers among us. Our very own Vice-President has
