Language Log
Even punctuation is controversial on the Internet. Should my title be Bert Collins’ Blog or Bert Collins Blog? I go to Language Log for my daily dose of grammar wars. Mark Liberman’s site is very reassuring–the repeated message is that the proper study of linguistics is how people use language, not how they OUGHT to use it. If you want to know how many words the Inuit really have for snow, you’ll find the full, hilarious debate here.
