		<description><![CDATA[Today, Becca asked me if she could change the DVD to watch something else. Star Trek-TNG, as it turns out, a particular point of pride on which I will almost certainly elaborate at some point in another post. I was a bit too slow to respond, so she slipped into a facetious supplicant mode, pretending [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Becca doesn&#8217;t quite have all her verb conjugation and helper words down yet. In fact, sometimes, she just bails on conjugation altogether. Pretty understandable, as Thai language has no verb conjugation by subject and only very simple and consistent conjugation by past/future, the equivalent of adding &#8220;-ed&#8221; for the past tense and &#8220;will -&#8221; for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Becca still seems to trip over usage of the words &#8220;many&#8221; and &#8220;much&#8221;. Of course, we can see that the issue is enumerability and countability. So we could say &#8220;I ate so much pizza that I gained 10 pounds&#8221; or &#8220;I ate so many slices of pizza that I gained 10 pounds&#8221;. The difference is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking through some old mail and found a link I had sent around. It was a NY Times Op-Ed piece about the troubling use of illegal as a noun. Every last bit of the article is right on, and despite being nearly two years old, it&#8217;s is still just as relevant today. For example: Since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A NY Times piece today on the Microsoft/Yahoo search deal contained a usage of &#8220;reticence&#8221; where &#8220;reluctance&#8221; would have better. After tense, months-long negotiations, the deal was derailed, in part by Mr. Yang&#8217;s reticence,&#8230; They would no doubt justify it by pointing to the entry, in their query.nytimes.com service which seems to use the American [...]]]></description>
