  3. English needs two versions of "we" and "us": one which includes me and you, and one which includes me and some other person/people, but not you.

    Similarly, I wish "you" and "thou" were both still in common parlance. Funny how there's such a pushback about the singular "they" but not the singular "you."

    English is a messy language. #disambiguation #english #pronouns

    My first idea about the intention of these two additional characters is #disambiguation: one recognizes immediately that this is not year-month. In most cases of "length" of semiotic items, the reason is avoidance of redundancy, and ease for the reader-listener. #XML

  6. Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together!

    This is #VeinMelter - the #StateCollege #Pennsylvania #PSU #philadelphia area band circa 00's. feat #NigelDickey

    found that for you, @zombiewarrior because clearly the whole reference thing is well known (many artists use that name)

  7. I've managed to link Bessie Donovan to at least some of her specimens held in the Donovan Collection at the Natural History Museum, London via Bionomia. This is due to the digitisation work of the digitisation team at the Natural History Museum as I needed to check the labels for the verbatim location. #Disambiguation #Entomology
