Nice severance package, but I didn't know Qatar printed currency in denominations that big ... [reads] oh.

I'd be amused to see how many lawsuits result from this.

So skimming through (4) got me all twitchy when the authors started talking about ABA and autism. I'll try later to see if they say something reasonable, but I'm currently feeling not very well-disposed towards the authors.

So, I'm reading the mutants twerked our language article, and they keep using the term "recursive language", which I understand what "recursive" can mean, and what "language" can mean, but how this article uses them together seems very specific, so it is time for some research.

First site says "... is called recursive if it is a recursive subset ..." which means that it is gonna take me a while. Sheesh.

It's recursive because it's recursive. Very good.

Okay. This one is better:

"...English permits more than one adjective in a sequence in this manner is an example of a more general feature of languages that linguists call recursion. In English, prenominal adjectives are recursive. Simply put, this means that prenominal adjectives can be 'stacked,' with several appearing successively in a string, each of them attributing some property to the noun. In principle, there is no limit to the number of adjectives that can modify a noun."
