Creators have to be mindful of what to say and what not to say in their content. This affects the language we're exposed to — and what we say IRL. But it's part of an old process. Adam Aleksic Etymology Nerd is the author of the new book "Algospeak". Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

We were very pleased to get the news today that the Australian National Dictionary Centre will be saved, thanks to an anonymous donation and the halt on involuntary redundancies under the Renew ANU plan. We thank everyone for their generous support through these difficult times.

A dusty bell just went ding in the Because Language office. It seems that someone bought a "Chaos Goblin" sticker! If one more person buys one, then there will be two of you. Irregardless, they're pretty great. Go see our designs. redbubble.com/shop/ap/168897…
