🇪🇷Götterdämmerung<p>The 2nd Semester ASL Student Typology <br>They survived ASL 1. The strong ones, the fast ones, the ones who kept up while others drowned. But ASL 2? Whole different beast. No more easy drills. No more spoon feeding. No more hiding behind fingerspelling like a damn life raft. This is where fluency stops being a hobby &amp; starts being a mountain. Not everyone makes it to the top. Some climb. Some stall out. Some fake it. Some die on the trail. </p><p><a href="https://glitch.social/tags/deaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deaf</span></a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/ASL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASL</span></a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/typology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>typology</span></a></p>
Jens Notroff<p>It's actually easy to experience how archaeological <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>typology</span></a> works describing material culture almost everyday - and we don’t even have to go to a museum for this:</p><p>When boarding a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>train</span></a> compartment the next time ... ask yourself why it looks the way it does. 🤔😉</p>
John Arnold<p>At our university, we have writing styles that require* or discourage** using serial commas (SCs; aka Oxford commas).</p><p>I often joke with students that there are three kinds of people in the world:<br>#1 Those who love SCs.<br>#2 Those who dislike SCs.<br>#3 And the vast majority of people: those who don’t know what an SC is and don’t care.</p><p>* e.g., APA <a href="https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/punctuation/serial-comma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar</span><span class="invisible">-guidelines/punctuation/serial-comma</span></a><br>** e.g., NZLSG <a href="https://www.austlii.community/foswiki/NZLawSG/GeneralRulesMainText#Punctuation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">austlii.community/foswiki/NZLa</span><span class="invisible">wSG/GeneralRulesMainText#Punctuation</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SerialCommas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SerialCommas</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OxfordCommas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OxfordCommas</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OxfordComma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OxfordComma</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Typology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Typology</span></a> 1/4</p>
