Doff your cap to Languagehat
Despite recent bellyaching by some people about why blogs are useless I for one think that the blog phenomenon is a wonderful explosion of ideas. Sure there's lot of chaffe out there in that grainery, but hey, that's why you don't go to sites you don't like, right?
One of my favorite blogs to visit is LanguageHat. I don't know who this chapeau afficionado is but he constantly has the most facinating blog entries about phonetics and language from around the world. Of particular note is his recent entry titled, "Deaf Thinking". Given my background I was quite interested in this and highly recommend any visitors to my site to read the post and the comments.
Language is a beautiful and completely mystical thing.
Why, thank you, ma'am! I aims to please. (And I was glad that post got so much response from deaf people; it's that kind of thing that makes me glad my stepson pressured me to start a blog.)
