Who cares about English? Panel discussion recording
A video of a discussion on English if you've got an hour and a bit to spare.

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

I don't have time tonight, but definitely I am going to listen to it. John Simpson is on the panel! Remember when we met him during a Wordcraft Gathering? That was so fun!

He's lost a little hair since then. Wink

I still have that picture of him, with Bob, arnie, Richard, Richard's wife and Shu in our family room. That was so fun meeting him. I'll always remember the look on his face when I asked him if he'd please put "epicaricacy" into the OED.

Oh, thank you, arnie! I love my picture as well.

Our organization once had a facilitator who asked us to bring in something that would represent another part of our life, besides work. I brought in that picture, and it caused quite the conversation!
