POPSIs the Internet melting our brains? I start with Plato's critique of writing where he says that if we depend on writing, we will lose the ability to remember things. Our memory will become weak. And he also criticizes writing because the written text is not interactive in the way spoken communication is. He also says that written words are essentially shadows of the things they represent. They're not the thing itself. Of course we remember all this because Plato wrote it down -- the ultimate irony. We hear a thousand objections of this sort throughout history: Thoreau objecting to the telegraph, because even though it speeds things up, people won't have anything to say to one another. Then we have Samuel Morse, who invents the telegraph, objecting to the telephone because nothing important is ever going to be done over the telephone because there's no way to preserve or record a phone conversation.

POPSTechnology for Breakfast via @kmaverick Just checked out this eye opening story recommended by @kmaverick. Aside from reminding me that I am often guilty of the same habits noted, the theme of the article underscores a big reason why the traditional newspaper business is suffering so badly.

POPSOK, so who speaks with an accent around here? My WV friend brought up the humorous phenomenon of regional American accents. Anyone who sounds like us has no accent; anyone who sounds different does. Well, not to be a bitch about it, but consider this ;-) And, just FYI, I hail from Iowa City, IA - right in the big orange spot of General American English!

POPSCriminals traced by text message grammar More: Scientists are now building up a database of text messages donated by volunteers to look at distinctive differences in style and language between individuals, which can be used to analyse anonymous messages from potential suspects. The researchers have collected around 8,000 text messages from almost 1,000 members of the public… "Pairs of text messages by the same author are going to be more alike. And where you get groups of people who text one another a lot, or pairs of people, their language becomes more similar. We're moving away from human-based expertise and opinion to a method which will make it easier to discuss things like error rates."

POPSEnglish: The Criminal Language A paraphrase of a quotation made by James Nicoll. "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." It's hard to find a major language that hasn't been mugged and robbed by English.

POPSThe Rise Of A Conspiracy Theorist In an excellent piece in the Weekly Standard, Cathy Young does the important leg work of debunking Naomi Klein, mother of the "shock doctrine" doctrine, which purports that every catastrophic event of the last three decades, economic or natural, was part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. I think the comparison of Klein to Chomsky is a bit unfair to Chomsky, since he was at least a ground-breaking linguistics professor early in his career. Nothing I've ever read by or about Klein suggests that she's much of a critical thinker.

POPSNew Online Dictionary Redefines ‘look it up’
Lexicographer Erin McKean’s interactive ‘Wordnik’ is projected to be the largest online dictionary ever. This week she is slated to launch what may be the biggest revolution in the printed word since, well, printed words. McKean was 8 years old when she decided that when she grew up, she wanted to be a lexicographer – the technical term for a writer or editor of dictionaries. She first found it in her daily scouring of The Wall Street Journal. Her father was a Journal devotee “I think I was really attracted by the fact that it was taking 21 years to make the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary,” she recalls. “I was 8. Twenty-one years was forever.” The lexicography bug stuck, in part because McKean loved language. She was a voracious reader, plowing through her local libraries’ stacks and devouring anything she found at home, she says. “If it was lying around, I read it. If my parents didn’t want me to read it,” she says, “they had to hide it."
