Do you pronounce “Ms” and “Miss” differently?

Would be cool if you replied to say where you’re from and what variety of English you speak too.

It was an honour to present some of my work on Textbook English at the 7th conference of the International Society of English Linguistics (#ISLE7) this morning! ☺️ My slides can be found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.34846.51528 and the recording of my talk here: https://youtu.be/hZ5R7x4rPIw. Happy to take questions both here and on Slack! 🤓 #EnglishLinguistics #TEFL

Some hard facts from the British National Corpus #BNC : of the 44 hits for "oddness", 16 come from the same source, which turns out to be D. A. Cruse's "Lexical Semantics" textbook from 1986. Which makes me wonder, not for the first time, whether it has been a good idea to include linguistic texts in the BNC sampling :)

I’ve been reading a really interesting #bookstodon thread where the issue came up of whether “-ette” is a universally belittling suffix (in #English), and it made me wonder if there are folks on here who are specifically interested in #EnglishLanguage, #EnglishLinguistics, and #EnglishUsage (sort of like the old USENET group alt.usage.english or the LinkedIn group #Grammar Geeks). I know there are collections of books folks, editors, linguists, etc., but anything like what I’m talking about?
