In any case, social security does not take from the old to give to the young, notably retirement. I argue that a good role of a state: improves the conditions of the citizens and inhabitants, notably the most vulnerable, while encouraging virtue i.e. positive behaviour and discouraging vice i.e. ne...

One option comes with Grand Vizier Jared Kushner and the integralist former president of Wyoming Catholic College as chief sycophant. The other doesn't.

Are Americans that interested in socialism? No. Socialism, like welfare, is when you take money from the old and the rich to give it to the young and the poor, which is a ghastly inversion of the true purpose of government: taking money from the young and the poor to give it to the old and the rich...

My guess is that /s/ (and other fricatives) are common as syllable- (or word-) margins due to their audibility. For /s/, at least, since it involves just the front of the tongue, it’s pretty easy to combine articulatorily with labials or dorsal, at least. An interesting example of fricatives as syl...

Bilabially trilled coronal affricates (advibrates?) are found fairly frequently in Sino-Tibetan too; some language (can't remember which, Nort would know) has synchronic /ⁿdə/ → [ⁿdʙv̩]. Wikipedia says Namuyi has a full set of bilabially trilled affricates /pʙ bʙ tʙ dʙ/ but it's unsourced (well it'...

I would be remiss not to mention Piotr Gąsiorowski's paper and its analysis of English in particular and the Indo-European family more generally (including Latin) including a series of "presigmatised stops" (which give the paper its name: "SPecial STatus: Presigmatised Stops"). ...

Can /æt/ take initial glottal stop? It can't for me, and it varies with [ð̞æt] with a [ð̞] that's barely there.

Whatever happened to libertarians anyway? There used to be a lot of them, especially online, but they all seemed to have switched to more traditional views. What I saw was that the period when everyone was some kind of libertarian was followed by the period when everyone recommended How Asia Works ...

Seriously, what part of [ˌɑ̃ːʁ̃ˤɯːp̚ˈpʰɑːmʁ̩ˤ(ː)] is hard to understand? /pɑmər/? I've only ever heard /pɔlmər/. Now this surprises me.

On the question of polls, you could ask people "Are you responding to this poll right now, yes or no?" and the nos would not dip below ten percent. People always assume the floor is zero for poll responses, but it never is. 4% all neither uncommon opinions in conservative circles nor inco...
