Good then. I’ll do my work in Klingon or Romulan.

In the new math 25% = a handful.

Idea: How about all these folks spend their scarce time developing some marketable skills and stop their constant, mentally disturbed OC nit-picking, sulking, & navel-gazing?

[Political Junkie Too]

Yeah, in the new math algebra, x, y, and z will be replaced with some, handful, and many.

Fine, teach all courses in Latin then.

[I want the USA back]

Idiots. Will they use ay-rab instead? May as well. They are here, and making a lot of ay-rab speaking babies.

[Adder]

Take their damn money. Stop funding the insanity.

Worried that “xenophobia and nationalism are on the rise,” organizers of a recent academic conference invited presenters to “decenter English as the de facto language” of academia.

The words in the article in quotes are English words. They should be disregarded. The authors should instead have written their plea in one of India’s dialects, otherwise they are utterly inconsistent. And never translate it into English, either.
