However some have it that dork is actually the term for whale penis.

| Wednesday May 3, 2000 | Think math is hard? Try spelling. There are groups out there who are crusading to simplify English spelling, arguing that a thousand years of language change (not to mention a significant vowel shift) has caused English orthography to fail at its mission: representing sounds. Hidden in the spelling brouhaha is another potentially brilliant idea: a simplified version of English that can be used as an international language, much like Esperanto but with a built-in user base. Too bad it never caught on. to Linguistics by idat |

| Sunday Apr 16, 2000 | In 1949 David Bourland responded to the perennial problems of the verb "to be" by suggesting that we remove it completely from the language. Although it sounds like a moronically simple change, E-Prime (English without the being verb) results in dramatically improved clarity of communication, making the agent-hiding passive voice almost impossible, reducing hidden assumptions, and removing illusions of immutability. The massive unpopularity of E-Prime suggests that the true, unspoken purpose of language is usually not to inform but manipulate. to Linguistics by cricket |

Fowler: "Now there is something to be said for the change, or the two changes: the old-fashioned period, or long complex sentence, carefully worked out with a view to symmetry, balance, and degrees of subordination, though it has a dignity of its own, is formal, stiff, and sometimes frigid; the modern newspaper vice of long sentences either rambling or involved (far commoner in newspapers than the spot-plague) is inexpressibly wearisome and exasperating."
