		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m all about gender-neutral pronouns. The English language, once again, fails us when it comes to those that don&#8217;t fit within the norm (see my post on the limits of the English language for reference). Like many languages, English pretty much only allows us two options for singular gendered pronouns: he/him/his and she/her/hers. Those within [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a follow-up to my post explaining folk speech and sexual slang, I thought I would provide some examples of so-called &#8220;dirty&#8221; words in the English language: George Carlin&#8217;s Incomplete List of Impolite Words (link goes to Youtube video). This is, obviously, SO not safe for work due to the various taboo words being pronounced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my field, Folklore, we study not only fairy tales and community celebrations but also language itself. Like linguists, we&#8217;re interested in dialect and the regional and cultural variations between language uses and meanings. The term we use for this area is &#8220;folk speech.&#8221; A guide to teaching verbal folklore defines folk speech as including: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite webcomics, Girls With Slingshots, recently had a very entertaining strip .  I think it highlights the importance of establishing common definitions when talking about sex.
