    ¿Did i ever post Media without descriptive Alt Text?.
    Please point out such #Posts, i will be ashamed.

    By #Descriptive, i mean the Alt Text must describe the #Media, much like you would describe a Picture or a Happening to a Friend if you can’t show it.
    A witty Remark that does not describe the Media is not acceptable #AltText on my Profile.

  2. Two main statistical methods are used in data analysis: #Descriptive statistics, which summarize data from a sample using indexes such as the mean or standard deviation, and #Inferential statistics, which draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation (e.g., observational errors, sampling variation).

  7. My university's registrar has decided, in their online forms and in emails, that "withdraw" is a noun.

    Students are requesting a withdraw from the course.

    Yes. like that.

    They need to get off my fucking lawn. For one thing, it is crowded out there.

    #Miniatures and #maps are great for some #games but roleplaying is best when it's #TheaterOfTheMind.

    Also helpful, though a challenge to GM, is the Player Isolation Principle, whereby the players are not exposed to the #GameMechanics directly. The numerical values have #descriptive equivalents that allow translation. A #strength
    #attribute #modifier of +2 becomes "very strong", a 30% reduction in #HitPoints becomes a "moderate injury", etc...

  17. 2) #Descriptive statistics
    We can describe this sample with descriptive #statistics, e.g. with mean and dispersion parameters. We make statements about the available #data, i.e. about the #sample, but not about the #population.

  18. This old graph from @robdrummond should be displayed on all office doors of all descriptive linguists. Most of us have gone through the whole process, but there is light on the right of the X axis!!! @linguisticmemes @linguistics #Linguistics #Descriptive #Pedantry
