In the course of talking through a major grant application, my colleague Jeremy noticed something about me that I hadn’t known:
I’m not sure that’s the sense of ‘subsistent’ I’d have identified for my usage, but who am I to argue with the OED?
That’s great! Especially the recognition that you’re rare. You should bring up this quality, with OED proof, when it’s time to ask for a raise and/or promotion…
The author is dead! Long live the author
I’m very impressed! My son in oed. Entirely appropriate for one who really cares about words!
