Would love to do it now, but I do not have the greatest internet service at my current location. I will send feedback next week. Have a great Labor Day holiday.Laura Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229426716936563690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-62437449365512062262011-08-30T03:24:48.796-04:002011-08-30T03:24:48.796-04:00Love this.

If you have the time, I'd love to direct your attention to The Diacritics [thediacritics.wordpress.com], a linguistics project that a friend and I started. We're both recent linguistics grads from Duke and Harvard, and we love writing and thinking about language and linguistics. We're just starting up, so feedback would be most welcome!)Sandeep Prasannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724775728374104321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-75581258493116949452011-08-25T15:35:19.071-04:002011-08-25T15:35:19.071-04:00Wouldn't it be great if someone would create s...Wouldn't it be great if someone would create such an app; I'm sure it would be much more fun than Angry Birds.Laura Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229426716936563690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-27815975905470602602011-08-25T14:14:13.366-04:002011-08-25T14:14:13.366-04:00I forgot about the Carroll quotation.
