    When John Bolton's book draft was leaked, it was widely described as a "bombshell." For my latest column, I dig into the word's explosive history, from military armaments to politics.

    American law pronunciation of most Latin is abysmal. No two attorneys say qui tam the same way.

    Do American lawyers really pronounce 'sine die' as 'sye-nee dai'? I hear my old Latin teacher rolling in his grave..

    I will never not be annoyed by the way we apparently have agreed to say "sine die"

    I'm very disappointed that neither Senate Majority Leader McConnell nor Chief Justice John Roberts knows how to properly pronounce sine die.

    The first article of impeachment includes an awkward attempt to not split an infinitive: "faithfully to execute." Justice Roberts got tripped up by the placement of "faithfully" (avoiding a "split verb") when administering the oath to Obama in 2009.

    I asked if what I'm calling emoji spelling could be called rebus use. He said yes: “‘Rebus’ historically has been used to cover not just puzzles to decipher but other representations of syllables, words, or phrases by pictures or symbols.”

    Fun article by about rebus-style emoji spellings like "im🍑." I'm quoted about the pre-emoji history of rebus wordplay.

    Here's a piece I wrote a year ago. "Trump, the proud 'nationalist,' has basked in the glow of pugnacious 'U-S-A' chants at his rallies, and it is difficult not to hear the State of the Union cheers as an echo of these jingoistic outpourings."

    In his Iowa speech, Buttigieg just thanked his mother, who "put her love of language to work answering letters sent to our campaign."

    Pitched and produced this segment with on the coded language behind “the heartland,” used by midwestern candidates on the presidential campaign. Critics claim the term is another way to discuss and win over white voters. Check it out:

    Too bad John Kerry deleted this tweet, with its exquisite parenthetical glossing of the adverbial intensifier "fucking": "Any report otherwise is fucking (or categorically) false." cc

    Then in 1976, Anne Montgomery got her PhD at the University of Texas at Austin. Her dissertation (studying under linguists John Bordie and Joel Sherzer) was entitled, "Toward a pedagogical grammar for the Menominee language: the language project approach."

    In 1969, Anne Montgomery got a master's degree at the University of Texas at El Paso in English. Her thesis was on "Postposition of the direct object in English." (Contingent upon the nature of the intervening optional satellite tagmemes, of course!)

    Pete Buttigieg's mom, a trained linguist, on her son: "I'm just an observer, really, and I find it fascinating. How he uses language, how he comes up with a reply or a retort, the way he can take a discussion in new ways. It's just really interesting."
