To All Fellow Language Freaks: You might be interested in a discussion started on another thread, precipitated by a poem that used a well-known Anglo-Saxonism. I always thought the discussion should really have been on this thread. Start with the poem itself, which created quite a ruckus on SI and ended with the writer's expulsion: Message 3803298 Next, proceed to the beginning of the linguistic analysis of the poem and the Anglo-Saxonism in question (post #1174 on the "WARNING" thread): Message 38030571 Then, follow the word "BLANK" on that thread through to posts #1226 and #1236, containing my very own Anthology of Truly Offensive Posts. Message 3888251 Message 3902251 P.S. Thanks for your support, AugustWest and sowbug. It helped heal my bruises!
