Once upon a time, between 10 and 14 years ago, in an accelerated maths class in a distant land known as Newcastle, the students were playing anagrams on the board. It must have been after an exam.
Binable!, Brian insists. “It’s a word. I can put something in the bin, so it’s Bin-able. Like other -able words.”
If I recall correctly there were many groans, and wouldn’t be surprised if things were thrown.
Throwable things, of course.

I loved these pictures over on the xkcd blog today…
Might actually be quite a useful resource for the design nerds out there, whereas I’m probably looking at it more linguistically, with flashbacks to a lecturer saying “some languages only have x number of colour names” (might have been 2 or 3) and me being weirded out.
Now, I ask again… What’s your favourite colour??
(I have a headache, a glass of red (yes , red, the dark stripe) wine, and no desire to do uni work tonight, having submitted a 35% assignment at 10pm yesterday, and another due on the weekend of the 15th.)

The ANU library babysat me last night after my Japanese class, which waiting for Rish. Wandering through, deciding to go in search of something to read. Past the economics texts, and the ones on the economy before the black death…
Into the over sized books, and into the linguistics section.
Skimming through Middle English dictionaries, something on phonetics, texts on teaching English as a second language, and a dictionary of the slang of UCLA.
Could have left me there for hours. No wonder a Linguistics postgrad is becoming more appealing. Nerd :)
