You call it United Kingdom, Britain, they call it sometimes England. They go back to the old. It's got more names than any other place in the world. And sometimes they have to be educated as to the what.

I taught Vathek for the umpteenth time today and, as I read my notes to prepare, I kept thinking, “Nope, doesn’t sound familiar at all.” Maybe I’ve been faking it for so long that I forgot I’ve never actually read the book?

“The incident occurred on New Jersey Transit property and involved a New Jersey Transit contractor.” NJ Transit often ruins my trips, but I’m impressed they managed to shut down air travel on the Eastern Seaboard! I should have known they had it in them.

Operations had resumed by Monday evening, with delays. The incident revived concerns about the Federal Aviation Administration’s aging air traffic control infrastructure.

A little late for #caturday, but look at this utterly beguiling woodcut by Richard Bawden (son of Edward Bawden, also great at depicting cats).

Poster for a Richard Bawden show at the Fry Art Gallery: a tabby cat with fine stripes and yellow eyes standing on a small armchair , which is just its size, an array of patterned cushions behind it, red, yellow, and white. There are cat portraits on the wall on either side of the sofa. The cat is looking hard at us.

डॉ.सॅम्युअल जॉन्सनची डिक्शनरी हे जगातले एकमेव एकहाती काम आहे. ही डिक्शनरी पुढे फ्रेंच आणि जर्मनमध्ये भाषांतरीत करण्यात आली. प्रत्येक शब्दाचा अर्थ, त्याची व्युत्पत्ती, आणि त्याचा शब्दोच्चार याचा खूप सखोल विचार सर्वप्रथम सॅम्युअल जॉन्सनच्या डिक्श्नरीत करण्यात आला. 'न्यूटनचं विज्ञान आणि गणित यामधलं जे योगदान आहे तितकंच मोठं योगदान डिक्शनरीचं इंग्रजी भाषेच्या विकासातील आहे ' असं अमेरिकन भाषाकार आणि भाषातज्ञ नोव्ह क्वेस्टर ने म्हटले आहे.©2022 Storytel Original IN (P)2022 Storytel Original IN
