microsoft word you dumb bitch thats not a main clause

[invizigothx]

on the one hand doing a phd in translation in the UK feels very attractive and might enable me to move into a more stable job situation. on the other hand, I could stay right here in Philly and do a Masters in TESOL and almost certainly get a more stable job situation. and on the third hand, what if I did neither of those things because going back to school would cut into my writing and other activities time. but also. this past week one of the cats had a medical scare (she is fine! we have a big vet bill! stay tuned for a fundraiser!) and it just really impressed on me that while I've definitely been making the best possible decisions for myself at the time, it would be really helpful for my dependents (the dog and cats) and partner if I could bring more financial stability. like not even more money per say but just the knowledge that I'll have X amount of money coming in each month for more than 4 - 6 months a time.

@asteroidfieldgame All of these phrases are called phatic expressions. It means that the semantic expressions (what the sentence means) is much less important than the pragmatic (what sentences accomplish in conversation) information; and generally to do with politeness [source].

Interestingly, the moment you put have a good before morning, afternoon, evening, and night, all of these expressions change into goodbye. This is because the pragmatic meaning implies that you wish someone well when you're not going to be there to confirm it.

Goodnight originated from Middle English between 1325-1375 and was commonly used before a person goes to sleep. Hence, the pragmatic use of goodnight became synonymous as a discourse conclusion marker--with goodbye--rather than a greeting with good morning/afternoon/evening.

Why do good morning, good afternoon, and good evening mean hello while good night means bye?

Genuine question... How come "I took a psychology class" became something antis use to increase the hatred towards Billy? I studied Social Work and have a master degree in Psychology and that only increases my empathy towards characters like him. I'd be scared if these antis were actual professionals in those areas.

Some people think they’re experts after taking a level 100 course. I TA’d a cultural anthropology level 100 course, and there were certainly those types of students who thought they knew everything already because they read Guns, Germs, and Steel once. I gave a lecture on the history of multilingualism in the United States and the lack of a nationally recognized official language, and people came out of that lecture still believing that English was the only language we should recognize in this country. When presented with facts, plenty of people just don’t care because it disrupts their worldview too much. They want the clout that comes with having an education in a particular field but they don’t want to do the actual work involved to be not only successful but ethical.

I have a Master’s degree in Teaching & Curriculum. I graduated with a double major in anthropology and TESOL with a minor in linguistics for my undergraduate. In addition to teaching ENL and co-teaching global history, I’ve been involved in multiple committees. I work in two additional bilingual programs, and I help support an affinity group at my work. My classes have been filmed for textbook curriculums and news articles almost every year I’ve been teaching. Yet, I’m still learning a lot. I still mess up, too. Why anyone thinks having a degree in anything at all gives them the right to discredit a whole group of people’s lived experiences (in this case, abuse survivors) is beyond me. It’s just laughable when these people claim their hate is in any way supported by sound, psychological research.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Despite pleas from students, faculty members and academic organizations to change course, and despite student protesters disrupting its Friday meeting, the West Virginia University Board of Governors voted to eliminate 143 faculty positions and 28 academic programs from its flagship Morgantown campus.

Some students wept and an assistant math professor stormed out of the meeting room Friday morning as board members approved cut after cut, with only the student body president, the faculty senate president and another faculty representative consistently voting no.

E. Gordon Gee, WVU’s president, telegraphed deep cuts during a State of the University speech in March, and the provost’s office said it was gathering data over the summer. On Aug. 11, the week before fall classes began, WVU revealed the scope of its preliminary recommendations, which started a scramble by professors, the students union, and others to raise national alarm and stop the cuts. Faculty members said they felt excluded from the process.

Attention came from national media and national groups, such as the American Association of University Professors and the Modern Language Association — one of multiple groups that called the proposed cuts “unprecedented” or “drastic.” During WVU’s official appeal process, the university withdrew some proposed faculty cuts and program eliminations, such as the suggestions to nix the master’s degrees in creative writing, acting and special education.

Attendees of the University Assembly—a rarely summoned body of all full-time WVU faculty members, with certain exceptions—also overwhelmingly approved a no confidence resolution in Gee and a request that the university immediately freeze this “Academic Transformation” process.

WVU administrators proceeded with most of their original proposals. They took them to the board Friday, and the board, after hearing three hours of opposing public comments the day before, adopted them.

The university is eliminating all its foreign language degrees, which include bachelor’s degrees in French, Spanish, Chinese studies, German studies and Russian studies, along with master’s degrees in linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

WVU will also eliminate all its foreign language minors, with the possible exceptions of Spanish and Chinese, the two languages in which it will still offer courses. There was one relevant change on Friday: the board saved two faculty positions in the department of world languages, literatures and linguistics. 

The current minors allow for students to study Arabic, Italian and Japanese. Those will all be eliminated. The languages and literatures department will go from 24 faculty members to seven. 

The university will also end its master’s in public administration program, along with its master’s degree in higher education administration and its Ph.D. in higher education. There are also cuts in the arts, though the board saved one faculty position each in art and music.

The university is also eliminating its current graduate degree offerings in mathematics, though it says the School of Mathematical and Data Sciences has been given “approval to begin the intent-to-plan process” for replacement master’s and doctoral degrees. Sixteen faculty positions will be eliminated in that school, a third of the current faculty.

University officials have said these and other cuts will take effect at various times, as WVU provides individual employees notices of planned termination, and as professors finish teaching graduate students in discontinued programs and undergraduate students who have accumulated at least 60 credit hours toward their degrees. Those with fewer credit hours have no guarantee they’ll be able to finish their intended degree at WVU.

Some faculty members may lose their jobs as soon as May.

At one point Friday, student protesters, who swelled the small meeting room to over 100—including board members, WVU officials and others—halted the meeting with their chants of “Stop the cuts!” They continued chanting outside the meeting room windows as the meeting resumed, and board members continued to approve the cuts.

Careers in English

I’ve always wanted to become an English teacher and share my love for literature with others. It is why I decided to get a bachelor's in English literature which is not exactly the most conventional route for teaching but it’s the one I chose. I always knew I had to do other types of studies after my bachelor, I just wasn’t sure on which one to do.

Therefore, to teach at college level, most colleges will require English teachers to have at least a master's degree. An M.A. in English, English Literature, or a related field is usually necessary to teach at the college level. Some institutions may require a specialized master's degree depending on the subject area (e.g., creative writing, linguistics, etc.). Which is completely understandable. Furthermore, while pursuing this graduate degree, I can qualify for some work as a teaching assistant (TA). This role could allow me to gain practical teaching experience while also helping to support professors with grading, tutoring, or leading discussion sections.

It's also important to take into consideration how some people even begin teaching as adjunct professors (part-time instructors) while completing their graduate degrees or after they have graduated. Teaching as an adjunct could help build my resume and my experience in teaching. Also, if I was interested in teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) then I should pursue a certification like TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
