WAIT, side bar, was Ebonics a portmanteau of ebony & phonics/phonetics this whole time?? #LinguisticsSky

The moment has arrived when I urgently need #linguisticssky to come through. Let’s figure out what went wrong here. #linguistics #🗣️💬
👂🏻👀

Serious discussion and dunks welcome

I think there is a #linguisticssky but I'm not sure that's the right spelling. There are also some starter packs hanging around. Also, if you have a look on someone's profile you can find all the people they follow.

Mine is pretty interdisciplinary but you'll find lots of linguists in there.

And now Chris Strelluf from Applied Linguistics on testing the limits of linguistic plasticity with admittedly the best title yet! #LinguisticsSky can you spot the insider joke? #LLGAwayDay @warwickpsych.bsky.social

In math we comfortably use "if and only if". Is there a comparable way in English to use "is and is only"? like online games "are and are only" enjoyable when players do meaningfully cooperate? #EnglishSky #LinguisticsSky #MathSky

#LanguageSky ? #LinguisticsSky ? I have a funny tic where instead of saying "stocking stuffer," it's Stuffing Stocker. @sampotts.bsky.social finds this endlessly amusing. Tonight when I tried to say Showstopper, it came out as Stowshopper. It doesn't happen with other words! What's going on?!

Did I just accidentally stumble upon #LinguisticsSky ? 👀 🥰

#LinguisticsSky

Anyone know why we (in the US) use

mph for miles per hour

but

km/h for kilometers per hour?
