Mother Tongue Annoyances

I’ve really been enjoying Tim Warner’s Mother Tongue Annoyances lately. He’s got a light, opinionated manner that suits his subject matter perfectly. (Source Link)

Hi Mr. Barrett,

Thanks very much for the mention (Very timely on April 1, too !).

I must say that I am honored to have a linguistic “heavy hitter” such as yourself visit and enjoy my blog. Because I’m simply an amateur linguist with only a subscription to the OED online and a passion for language, I must confess to feeling intimidated when I read blogs like yours, Language Log, Language Hat, etc.

Have a good one,
Tim

Hey, Tim, you’ll probably never see this, but just in case: is your blog dead and gone, or just experiencing technical difficulties?

Language Hat,
I saw your comment! I saw your comment! :)

Thanks for asking about my weblog. For a variety of reasons, I suspended the site several weeks ago.

However, I’ve since had a change of mind and heart and just today I called my Web host and asked them to reinstate the domain. MTA should be back up within 24 hours.

Take care,
Tim
