Only if you consider Oxfordto be incorrect.
So what is buggery called?
Or rather, what is the study of buggery called?
That’s an easy one! You just have to remember the stories of the Myrmidons.
I don’t know the difference between etymology and entomology but an etymologist does.
Make one little mistake and they never forget …
Why-Do you know someone who’s made only one? ![]()
Hey, they didn’t get my joke; why should they get yours?
Grindr?
Am I the only one to notice that it is still there?
There is no time like the present Eutychus!
I have an entomology/etymology story:
I took an entomology class in college. There was a deaf student in the class, and she had a sign language interpreter who came to class with her and signed as the professor lectured. She was in my lab section for the class, and she and her interpreter told me about how they would come up with their own signs for some of the more cumbersome terms (such as lepidoptera, hypopharynx, etc) instead of having to spell them out each time. It sounded like they had fun coming up with the signs, making them memorable and descriptive when possible. Although their signs may not have lived beyond the end of the semester, it was kind of interesting seeing language evolving on a microscale.
As a dues-paying psycholinguist…ok, I pay the dues to be an attorney, psycholinguistics is obscurely denoted on the phd, interested in funny hand gestures and bugs, it would have been nice to have lost signs on video.
However, the pedant in me says that languages do not evolve, they change. You want to say they evolve, you show me the slightly error-prone replicator that is transmitted.
And, coincidentally, despite being a graduate student in the experimental psychology department, I also decided I would take the graduate Introduction to Evolution class that was required of the Evolution and Physical Anthropology students. This resulted in me publishing an article critical of certain views of language as something that evolves. It was internally reviewed before submission by an entomologist as well as the word-specialists, one of the major players in the study of beetles.
And just to drag more things into it, the beetles crowd and the ants crowd have a bit of a rivalry. More species of beetles exist than any other sort of critter, but ants have the largest biomass of any sort of critter. At least multicellular terrestrial critters.
Finally, once upon a time, ants could fly. They came back to the earth, and invented agriculture.
Can you explain that a little more or point us to the article online. With multiple dictionary definitions for both evolve and change, are you using specific definitions standard for your field of study?
Human communication and memory.
