Supported by corpus data: it’s not unusual for people to use “syllabuses” as a regular plural, fairly rare for them to use “syllabi” as a singular, but practically unheard of to use “syllabis” as a regular plural.

I passed a horse on the road today and instantly thought “why were the eyes of the horse on the jet pilot”

I just looked it up and realized I’ve been mishearing that lyric for 20+ years

I’m not for fraternizing with students, but having a rule against it recalls NOVA

Some of my uni friends in Japan drink with students regularly (at least their zemi Ss) and are reimbursed by their depts

But it’s good that you don’t and are sensitive to dietary restrictions. I had ppl in my dept handing out hi-chews and I had to warn Ss that they contain gelatin

People often translate the kanji 虫 as “insect” but as a radical it appears in both “frog” (蛙) and “bat” (蝙蝠), so an etymologically accurate translation of 虫 might rather be “small annoying creature”

It’s not mysterious at all from a corpus linguistics standpoint why a LLM would interpret a directive to “tell it like it is” as a directive to produce right-wing content. It’s not because right-wing content IS more honest but because it CALLS ITSELF more honest.

In between recording metal at my home studio, I played Lady Gaga and Rose (both feat. Bruno Mars) at my job. I liked both

Watching Andor for the first time, and I keep wondering how to define “this morning” when you’re talking about being on another planet “this morning” before traveling to another planet at the speed of light.
