Retaliation Takeover Bid Gains Momentum

Only $7,770.43 Needed!

The news reaching the MaLingua offices is that the Moderators are
increasing their support in their Retaliation Takeover bid, and they
have nearly raised the $50,000 needed to get LINGUIST List back on its
feet and operating properly.

This morning, The LINGUIST List Loyals released a press statement
detailing the new figures. They tell us that they have secured the
help and generous support of 1,028 donors, which represents a 6%
market share of the much fought after Linguistic Subscriber sector of
the market that encapsulates over 17,000 individuals. As we go to
press the moderators only need $7,770.43 to reach their target.

The moderators have also been very successful in securing new
supporters to the cause. And in true academic style, the ousted
LINGUIST List is offering a commitment to pedagogy second to none that
seems to be drawing the crowd. The LINGUIST List
Editor-In-A-Chieftain-Tank Karen Milligan had this to say: "We have a
lot of new recruits, which can only be good for the discipline of
linguistics. We've been working on catching them when they are young,
because once they are exposed to prescriptive grammar it is so much
harder to convert them." Milligan also added "The latest batch of new
LINGUIST Loyals are the quickest learners that we have ever had. We
hope to have them programming by the end of the week."

These new LINGUIST editors are hoped to replace the old ones who have
gone over to LINGUIST Cook Online, bribed by juicy share options and
better working conditions.

In the meantime, the situation in the newly refurbished LINGUIST Cook
Online kitchens is one of determination. Since Friday they have
barricaded themselves in and have successfully made a stand against
most attempts to break into the offices by the moderators. However,
MaLingua can exclusively reveal that certain LINGUIST List Loyals have
tunnelled into Dr. Aristar-Dry's old office and have been causing
havoc with the FVPN (Food is Very Profitable Network) subsiduary. One
of the more annoying marketing techniques of LINGUIST Cook Online is a
never-ending barrage of pop-up windows that slow down browsers and
generally block the view on anything and everything. The LINGUIST List
Loyals have desperately been trying to remove these nasty pieces of
commercial avaricity but for every one they get rid of, two more pop
up. They certainly have made the job of the LINGUIST Cooks much more
difficult. Some of the tactics employed include putting shoe polish in
the dish washer, blocking delivery of supplies for The MaLingua
Midnight Cafe, and changing the labels on spice jars.

The LINGUIST Cook Online chefs, however, have stated that they are
more determined than ever! Prashant Nagaraja, Dessert Chef, told us
via satellite phone that they have the full backing of FVPN and that
they have blocked off the corridors to the English department with
sacks of Idaho Spuds. In an impassioned interview he said "I have a
meat tenderizer and I'm not afraid to use it! Both Iron Chef Chen and
I are highly trained in the art of Kitchen Kombat - you should see
what Chen can do with a set of chopsticks!"

News from FVPN HQ supports this. Dr. P.C. Ival's spokeskitty and evil
sidekick Mini Meow told us that they have a number of plans to get
supporters back on their side. He told us "We are revamping one of the
old LINGUIST List favorites Ask-A-Linguist, but now it has a twist of
lemon...we are calling it Ask-Percival (see opposite) and it's bound
to bring people over as the answers are so much more smarter.

Ask-Percival: A New Service from LINGUIST Cook Online

Ask-A-Linguist, Ask-A-Linguist-Cat, Ask-Percival, it's all the same,
isn't it? Besides, at least I answer your questions. For future
reference, though, at least think of something a bit more challenging
to answer. My favorite topics are naps, food, and myself.


Q: Is it truly possible to raise children to be bilingual?

Percival: I have often wished that I had been born bilingual! It is
an undisputed asset in this world, and I have often wondered why more
parents don't take this into account when they decide to have
children. Why, if I were bilingual, my daily cleaning would take half
the time it does now. Not to mention the added gusto to my meals, and
I'm sure the dinner conversation would be incredibly interesting.
Questions do come to mind, though, as to where a second 'tongue' would
be housed. There just doesn't seem to be any room. I suppose you
would have to be born with at least one, just to know how it works,
but where exactly is the second tongue? Also, how does one learn to
work with a second tongue? Would I get confused as to which tongue to
use in which circumstance? Alas, these questions and much more arise
from the question of bilinguals, but I think they must be best
answered by those linguists. From my viewpoint, if the mother has a
tongue and the father has a tongue, there is no reason why the
children can't be born with two tongues. Freakish to some, but I find
bilinguals to be quite interesting. And what kissers!

Q: I've read that 'whom' is dropping out of English. Do you have an
opinion on this?

Percival: Well, now I've heard everything. You humans don't know what
you have until you lose it. If you ask us cats, that voiced bilabial
nasal you added onto the end of the word was the best move you could
have made. We cats have known for years that it is the one consonant
worth having -- just look at what it did for 'who.' It took a
perfectly common, bird-like word and gave it a certain posh air, a 'je
ne sais quoi', that reminds us of beautiful things like aristocracy,
snobbery, and Fancy Feast being served from crystal. Why do you think
it is incorporated in every word I know? But I digress. The question
is English. In any case, I am saddened by the demise of the voiced
bilabial nasal appended to the word 'who.' I just hope it doesn't
mean that there will be no more cat food served on crystal.

Q: Can you help me with my homework for Intro to Linguistics for
Non-Majors?

Percival: No, stupid.

Q: Do you have any advice for young kittens who aspire to have a
career as a linguist cat?

Percival: Well, although not everyone is born with the wit, charm, and
fiendish business savvy that is required for this highly sought-after
job, I can tell you that not much else is necessary. There are a few
things, though, that helped me beat out the peons and get to the top.
First of all, you must be photogenic. So many poor kitties were left
behind in the dust because they sat there stunned by the bright lights
and attention. Second of all, don't chew on the computer wires. I
know they look quite tasty and interesting, but I've lost many a
comrade in the jungles of the computer room. Finally, always conspire
to take over LINGUIST List in some back-handed fashion whenever you
can. Although this is not necessary, it certainly is fun to watch
those linguists run around looking for donations. As for now, I must
be leaving. I'm almost late for my manicure. If you guys donated
more of your money, I could possibly afford a pedicure as well, hint
hint.

*** Poetry Corner *** 
>From a Subscriber (with no apologies)


April is the cruelest month...
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers,
Yet LINGUIST tells us to give what is ours!

Anyone lived in a pretty how town
with up so many pop-ups around
That I can't find the LINGUIST site.
It's just fund drive messages day and night.

So, LINGUIST, I have this to say,
"Gather donations while ye may,
Old time is still a'flying.
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
April passes into May.
Even Fund Drive must end some day."

and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is
a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number
is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this
entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us
a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer.
This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra
penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a
scheme.
