"In this study, we improved the #methodology by teasing out two distinct measures: #fusion (how many #affixes #verbs and #nouns have) and informativity (how many distinctions are made)."
Yeesh. Regardless of the merits of the study, this is extremely poor framing, especially a #science #journalism article, as it's really just asking if #fusional #languages specifically are correlated with environment.

The Chief #commercial officer of #IBM was just on #cnbc talking about “IT spend.” Is it really too much effort to add an “ing” and use the correct #gerund form? Maybe standard #English #usage is no longer a core skill in #businessschool

29 followers · 339 posts · Server mastodonapp.ukSeveral writers encountered recently use strange suffixes for converting a verb to a noun. One writer uses -ance for all (e.g. "agreeance", and isn't that painful). Author of the current bedside reading has a related problem with adjectival forms, as in "educative material". I wonder what spellchecker they're using?

https://youtu.be/GPWTX6F89LI (audio only)
This is a great cover of a classic by the Kinks from the mid-1960s. There’s nothing particularly profound about either version - the song is simply a defiant celebration, an assertion of joy yet to be realized, but nevertheless claimed. It walks that wonderful line of staying faithful to the source material while somehow making it sound fresh and sincere.
The album on which it appeared was all cover songs, although many of them possibly unfamiliar to anyone not thoroughly steeped in album-oriented rock. The band itself - the Verbs - consists of that guy who played drums for the Rolling Stones several years ago when Charlie Watts didn’t want to go… and his wife. That means that counting me, and now you, there are roughly four people in the world who’ve heard of The Verbs, and yet here they are throwing all that energy into what they’re doing. I like that little metaphor as well.
“Baby, I feel good from the moment I rise - feel good from morning ‘til the end of the day…”
