He also made a lot of really interesting points- like when he spoke about slang

Ben- Any time I don't know what the heck I am talking about--whether that be today or ever--you politely correct me and inform me of whatever information I am lacking. I really appreciate the filling of knowledge gaps. 
Leah- I liked your personal insights and your stories connecting her experiences in Europe with language. 
Deborah- You pregnant lady. You insights into the migration of immigration was interesting.
Ezra- Your insight into everything including valuable opinions were fantastic.

Zoie was loud and that kept me awake.  I really liked Deborah's pregnancy story and Ezra's things that he said about slang. 

Completely agree! Deborah's pregnancy story reinforced our discussion on the evolving nature of language. It makes me think of words like "pissed." In Australia it means drunk, in the US its a crude way of saying angry.]]> 2016-11-04 14:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sstanhope/hczsmmimcelb/wish/135402300 sstanhope https://padlet.com/sstanhope/hczsmmimcelb/wish/135608486  Ben commented that many  African countries would economically benefit if they chose one official language and ensured all citizens mastered it.  Ezra responded that language is a vehicle of tradition.  He used Orthodox Judaism continued use of Hebrew as an example.

Zoie's point about hipsters learning Yiddish because it trendy to do made me realize that a language can simultaneously be a pidgin language and developing [spoken and written]. To the hipsters who listen to a podcast on how to speak Yiddish, it is pidgin. To a child of in an Ashkenazi whose first language is Yiddish it is a creole.]]> 2016-11-06 15:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sstanhope/hczsmmimcelb/wish/135609042 sstanhope https://padlet.com/sstanhope/hczsmmimcelb/wish/135613130 Leah admitted to not knowing the term Latin America.
