Date: 14-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: The Grand 2012 Limerick Contest: Are You Ready to Chortle? E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, The first round of the Grand 2012 Limerick Contest is nearing its end. Voting on Round 1 of submissions will close tomorrow at 5:00 pm (EST), so head on over to the limerick page and be sure to vote for your favorite: http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/limericks.cfm We'll be accepting entries for Round 2 until tomorrow at noon (EST). Send us your best shot at that time-honored and deadly serious artistic form, the limerick, and you may win a prize AND the undying respect of your colleagues! Remember, limericks should be somehow related to linguistics, and appropriate for viewing by tender young eyes (such as those of innocent undergraduates). On Friday, we'll announce the winner of Round 1, and unveil the competitors for Round 2. We're pleased to tell you that we've received a lot of very, very good entries this week. Get excited for a veritable smorgasbord of puns, clever rhymes, and tongue-in-cheek pokes at the field! The LINGUIST List Crew This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

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. Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 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 program. Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST! Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
