    Wow.

    Also in the news today a Florida sheriff is forbidding masks in his facility. Visitors and staff. I guess it isn’t really about liberty after all.

          From Nature "Face masks: what the data say"

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Masks are a product of fear.

                Once they use data as plural, I'm done.

                  We've talked about this before, but, I sort of appreciate the attention to the precision of Latin.

                        We didn't just study Latin.

                        We spoke it.

                        It is not only singular, it is Dayt-uh not daaata

                          John Derbyshire once had a corner post about his unhappiness with these colonial editors at NR changing his ‘data is’ to ‘data are’. His argument, which I found compelling, is the word was now English and not Latin. In English it’s a mass noun like rice or sand. In Latin it’s plural but if you’re using it as a Latin word than you would italicize it. But nobody italicizes it because it’s an English word.

                          Only non-witches get due process.

                            People say ‘my agenda is full’.

                            Can you imagine how pretentious would sound to say “I can’t do 9 o’clock, I have an agendum”.

                            Or, “I can’t do next week, my agenda are too many”.

                            Only non-witches get due process.

                              I got 40% on my Latin exam.

                              One should always try to XL, however difficult the subject.

                              I was only joking
