https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/descriptivism-isnt-anything-goes
Descriptivism isn’t “anything goes”. November 7, 2011 in English. Questions to the reader. One of the most common claims levelled against descriptivists, and against linguists of every stripe, is that our linguistic philosophy amounts to “anything goes”. Whenever anyone says something, the thought is, we will take it as a valid sentence in their language. But undeniably ungrammatical utterances like These is a big problem. Do I think they’re ungrammatical? In two of his posts. But it’s important en...

Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Writing to Learn to Teach. Some thoughts from a middle school math teacher. Silliness: The Expo Graveyard. September 18, 2012. This year, we’ve used either large or small whiteboards in my classroom just about every single day. I feel great about this – and I know that the kids love it. Unfortunately, I’m here today to report on a totally irritating whiteboarding-induced problem. The problem is this: My kids kill Expo markers at a staggeringly fast rate.

Slow down a second | Motivated Grammar
https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/slow-down-a-second
Slow down a second. August 16, 2009 in adjectives. Have you ever had to confront a dirty truth about one of your childhood heroes? I graduated from high school and went on to college at Wilson’s alma mater, excited about all the stuff on campus named for him or otherwise honoring him. And then, during my junior year, I started reading about how Wilson was actually a pretty heavy-duty racist, even for his time. (This came from reading Lies My Teacher Told Me. Yes, you read that right. 1b) *Varla insists o...

Saturday, January 30, 2010. The reports predicted snow that night. So Friday in my classroom, the possibility was on my students' minds. Having finished her work, one girl asked to draw on the board and so I allowed her to do so. Posted by Clayton Ramsey. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Math and Science in History and Culture. A Mathematicians Guide To. Good Math, Bad Math. News From the World of Maths. Science News: Math Trek. Steven Strogatz on the Elements of Math. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. The Usefulness of Mathematical Learning - Part 2. Continuing on the the second page, we find that. I'm no scholar of Greek, so I'm taking a bit of a liberty with what I think Arbuthnot. So it's not really surprising that he goes on to write.
