In the blizzard of ordure emanating from the big rotten apple core, at least some small pleasure can be derived from the #lexical whimsy it has inspired: Musk's swaticar, The Tsar Spangled banner, The Nerd Reich and Uncle Vancyr. #words #America

Okay so, getting some confidence with the #lexical text editor framework for the idea I want to implement took a bit of doing (since this is also my first web tech project where I am actively programming stuff, and so I am learning a whole bunch of JavaScript/Typescript on the wayside) but I am gaining confidence that it'll let me do what I want to do. (Building rich text connections with graph data.)

Maybe #ProseMirror would also work, but the docs on how ProseMirror posts updates are muddy.

#ZipfsLaw makes it hard to study #lexical #variation in #language, but some features would be difficult even with very large #corpora due to being homophonous with a more frequent feature. One I've come across lately is "I hate it" where the #demonstrative "that" is more common, e.g. in response to seeing a scary clown image.

Spotted "inventor extraordinary" rather than "inventor extraordinaire" in #Spiderman c1965. I was quite surprised to see there was a shift to the latter in American #literature and that it was relatively recent (https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=inventor+extraordinaire%2Cinventor+extraordinary&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=28&smoothing=3). Interesting case of #syntactic #borrowing where the #lexical borrowing lagged behind the post-nominal placement.
