Well, it's in the great tradition of "This is Spinal Tap", in which "spinal" has a dotless lowercase "i" and an "n" with an umlaut. Note that there's no Unicode symbol for the latter.
"Laymen are generally lousy linguists: they do not know what questions to ask, they do not know how to look for answers to them and they are too ready to accept generalizations to which they could easily find counter examples." ---James D. McCawley
"Asking a linguist how many languages they speak is like asking a doctor how many diseases they have." ---Lynne Murphy (aka lynneguist)
I am a linguist who has worked in academia, government consulting, NLP, and the branding and marketing industry.
I used to be a graduate student in linguistics specializing in the syntax-semantics interface and verb classes (can you say "Ay-Bee-Dee" boys and girls?).
I'm currently a software trainer/consultant with a large defense contractor in the Washington DC metro area.
