Week 5 in Review
In my review of the announcement this week I fell in love with this video about zombie nouns.
While watching this it suddenly dawned on me why I hate reading academic writing. It is sometimes full of nominalizations! Hearing the first example sentence about the "proliferation of nominalizations" I immeadiately felt like I was reading a scholarly article that I was not smart enough to understand. Seeing the revised version I was absolutely mind blown at how much easier it was to understand once the nominalizations were removed.
My favorite graphic pertained more to Myth and Folklore but it reminded of me reading about genies last semester. Also it made me laugh:
Something else really cool in the announcements was seeing this graduation counter someone added to their blog using the tech tips. Oh wait! It was me who did that this week:)
