• Obsidian Studios: Writing Sample Analyzer
  This writing sample analyzer takes a sample of your writing and then calculates the number of sentences, words, and characters in your sample. As it's calculating these statistics it makes estimates as to how many syllables are present in each word. Using these numbers, it then calculates the Flesch Reading Ease, Fog Scale Level, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, which are three of the most common readability algorithms. Simply supply a sample of your writing up to 5,000 characters and then click "Analyze."

• Resource Room: Reading Comprehension - Vocabulary Activities
  Vocabulary is a weak area for many students, but much "vocabulary instruction" ends up being handwriting practice. Edwin Ellis and Theresa Farmer describe the situation eloquently in the introduction to their clarifying strategy to teach vocabulary. To quote:

• The Office of Assertion by John Leo
  So how should we write and restore the integrity of good English? Candor, clarity and sincerity are important keys. All of us are weary of writers who dance around their subjects, protecting friends, bending facts to push a cause. “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity,” Orwell wrote. “When there is a gap between one’s real and declared aims, one turns instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms.”

• Wordorigins.org
  Wordorigins.org is devoted to the origins of words and phrases, or as a linguist would put it, to etymology. Etymology is the study of word origins. (It is not the study of insects; that is entomology.) Where words come from is a fascinating subject, full of folklore and historical lessons. Often, popular tales of a word's origin arise. Sometimes these are true; more often they are not. While it can be disappointing when a neat little tale turns out to be untrue, almost invariably the true origin is just as interesting.

• Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)
  We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion and no law. It is boundless freedom. <philosophy>

• DN - Kultur - I var mans mun
  Är man språkforskare känner man till bonobon (dvärgschimpansen) Kanzi. Han är en celebritet i den komparativa språkforskningens värld, och primatforskarens Sue Savage-Rumbaughs skötebarn. Vad jag vet finns ingen bonobo eller schimpans som nått i närheten av Kanzis prestationsförmåga i handhavandet av "lexigram" (symboliska tecken) och att förstå talat språk. Vid ett tillfälle när han var i en vattenbassäng blev han tillfrågad: "Kan du hämta några grapefrukter och kasta dem i bassängen?"
