There are so many books at every level for most languages, and FREE. I don't understand wasting resources to generate an inferior book/story. Natively written texts, or texts translated by a human, are objectively better and include cultural aspects— more important than grammar and vocab. #LangSky

griggle, grill, creagle The spider-crab Maia squinado. Lhuyd gives 'grill' as #Cornish for a crab, possibly meaning the spider-crab only, which is clearly from #Latin: gryllus, "a cricket", #French: grillon, #Spanish grillo, #Breton grilh-vor, "sea-cricket", a sea-crayfish. #langsky #Kernewek

The form "griggle" may be influenced by English dialect "grig" a cricket or grasshopper and is probably the base on which have been formed variants: ba-wiggle, keywaigle, keywiggle, quiggle, quiddle and wiggle. #Cornish #Kernewek #langsky

#Cornish: gwragh brenn and #Breton: gwrac'h-koad mean "wood witch/wrasse" where #Brezhoneg: 'koad' ("wood") is cognate with #Welsh: coed ("wood" group of trees). #Cymraeg: 'pysgoden broc môr' means "sea wreckage #fish" where 'broc' has came from English: "broke" (fragment). #Kernewek #langsky

They have swords though. 😂🤺 Érik Orsenna and Bernard Cerquiglini, both French Academy members, likely agree with this 👇🏾 Even the Academy is not a monolith. #LangSky

  Replying to Linguistic Discovery
  2/4 Count me in the camp of those who think the French Academy is an outdated fossil of an institution that still doesn’t understand that dictionaries should be descriptive rather than prescriptive.

A growing number of studies suggest that learning to write in cursive might help children recognise words more easily, develop stronger reading skills, & connect more deeply with language. 🔗 tinyurl.com/spzexs9n #langsky #linguistics #childlanguage
Can learning cursive help kids read better? Some policymakers think it’s worth a try

Teachers often have trouble finding enough time in the school day to teach all the expected writing skills, let alone cursive handwriting.
