The word tarmac comes from tarmacadam , macadam being the most common road surface before the advent of the motorcar. Macadam got its name from its inventor, John Loudon McAdam. Tar-bound macadam was the solution to the gradual damage motor vehicles caused to the road. Edgar Purnell Hooley patented ...

Conjunction whenever At any time that. Visit whenever you want to. Every time that. Whenever he has a pair of aces, his eyelids twitch. (Ireland, Southern US) When. Whenever I was a child, I lived in Arkansas. A while ago, I listened to a podcast where the interviewee (a woman from the american sou...

Chilli!

Bolognese!
Lasagna!

As countries go, India is big - it's the seventh largest country by area, and 1.5 times the size of Greenland, the largest island, so perhaps it's not a great standard of comparison for the size of islands. I hadn't really questioned the very common 'small island' description until Raphael mentioned...

Palatals and /y/ all over the place. Hiragana is such a nice, sensible way of writing sounds, so I just had to ruin it, too. No on'yomi, so you get nice long "native" words instead. Hau men weini gen gumen hiraganamu gum moha oryaman Hau men weini gen gum-en hiragana-mu gum mo-ha orya-man...

While at work today I discovered that I pronounce "mkdir" as /ˈməkˌdəː/ with a stressed ə that is definitely not the STRUT vowel. As a non-programmer* I would have confidently pronounced this /ˈməkˌdɪː/, but yes, definitely not STRUT. *I write a lot of SQL code for my job but it doesn't c...

SSBE as analysed by Geoff Lindsey is solidly 7-vowel based, crossing /ɪ ɛ a ɔ ɵ ə ʌ/ with [-j -w -ː(ɹ)]. It wouldn't stretch it too much to consider commA /ə/ and STRUT /ʌ/ as one vowel, since they each appear only in unstressed and stressed syllables respectively. Boom, 6 vowel English. I think th...

Aha, that makes a lot more sense of "sounds"

Is that a model railway turntable or some other kind?

i started a model diner in like, august, and it's still semi-assembled on top of a cutting board on top of my printer. i need to get around to finishing it! really all io have left at this stage is putting on the windows, and then gluing the parts together That sounds cool!

The three meals are typically breakfast , lunch , and dinner ; supper is a word typically restricted to older people, and is probably on its way to becoming entirely obsolete. I know a lot of people who have this pattern, but in my family we eat breakfast , lunch and tea . Dinner can be a hot meal ...

I don't know what MDF is, but if it's some kind of plaintext, it should be workable. You might need to rearrange the columns as I haven't gotten around to doing that. Medium-density fibreboard . Not the easiest of formats to import from, but one of the most durable. Remember to wear a filtration ma...

Well now I'm interested in your criticisms of NativLang, I've always thought his videos were quite good, although I would like it if he went in to more depth and details.

Of all the Grammarly ads, the one I hate the most is the one where the narrator says "Grammarly helps you communicate smarter." Speaking descriptively, that may well be acceptable in some Englishes (it's not in mine), but it's surely not standard English or 'good style' for contexts where ...

I have preferential use of 'sitting in the chair' vs 'sitting on the chair' for different contexts that can overlap. The type of chair factors: made of hard materials, more framelike, no arms --> on made of soft materials, more solid, arms --> in "Stay in your seats" is an example of a col...
