Linguist: so, in the made-up language I've created, the word for Linguist is "cool dude"...

For the first in months I enjoyed a Linguistics lecture. I used to think Ling was boring but Prof Richards changed my way of looking to the subject.

Prof. Richards, your ability to hear your students questions and compassionately understand what they are trying to ask you is absolutely incredible. I can say that I never experienced this while studying and its been an eye opener to see an intelligent, capable professor leading a lecture series with active listening and comprehensive knowledge sharing first. Thank you.

I'm an EFL teacher in Spain - really enjoyed this. Supplements my knowledge from my Cambridge Delta course Very well presented (good fun too) and I learnt some morphological facts about foreign languages. Will watch them all.

Instead of questioning why they are wearing masks, it would be better if you people appreciate that they are sharing knowledge with you.

concerning plural-s in English and backformation of words: 100 years ago, there were some british people in Germany selling "cakes". The word was first adapted in spelling "Keks" but also considered singular, so it's "1 Keks". When you have two in German, you add the typical German plural ending und you get "2 Kekse"

[davidjazay]
