Seeing a scattering of "lupine" in text this week, and thinking there are sightings of wolves in North America until noticing accompanying photos of lupin flowers, I looked it up. It's not a typo in USian, and it's still pronounced "lupin".

#linguistic challenge;
In a lot of card games to "trump" something is to have a better, high value card, that can be used to win the hand.
The word "trump" now has the opposite meaning and it seem wrong every time I say it in a card game.
To tRump something is to destroy it or to cheat, steal or rape something or someone.

We need a new word for having a better card. The one we now use has been sullied like everything else touched by tRump.

In an epic twist of #linguistic hilarity, the National Weather Service decides that translating weather warnings is just too much work. 🌦️ Apparently, Mother Nature's wrath will now be strictly #monolingual, because weather doesn't discriminate—only the #NWS does. 🌪️

Formal education is often used as a measure of linguistic competence, but literacy and print exposure influence grammatical knowledge in ways that standard metrics fail to capture. Tan Arda Gedik examines how these factors contribute to individual differences and why traditional measures may overlook aspects of language proficiency.

Multiple Intelligences

Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences seems really fascinating:

#Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)

#Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)

#Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)

Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)

#Musical intelligence (“music smart”)

Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”)

Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)

Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”)
