To see and win:
human immunity
Human immune defense is primarily protein, and about 10% of the human genome is virus memory, studies say. The proportion is most probably related to the acquired, natural immunity to have come with food. ■More
Krashen and California pang of conscience
To reckon on things that are not war, that are good-rounded and even preferably smith — American English should be the official language of the United States; or, an official language at least.

Transcreation
The idea to trans-create things is recognized mostly for painting or other visual art styles. The matter here yet is, how can we trans-create with language? ■More
I do not have it (!)

■Life | Love | Nature | Time and Eternity■
From my American English Generative Grammar:
Planet Earth has been a human natural habitat for millennia. In thousands of years, people to think what there is {ON} a map, have not denied plausibility for places {IN} areas, routes {TO} places, as well as locations {AT} them. Early childhood learning to walk has gotten along with learning to talk. Feel welcome to ■THE TRAVEL IN GRAMMAR.
USA Charters of Freedom
US Constitution is a “syntax bonanza”, that is, an exceptionally rich resource. We cannot have language forms that are hundreds of years aged, to learn modern grammar, but we can update the language form. Feel welcome to my notes on the linguistic update. ■More
A New People
Out of one, many, tells the sibyl by Virgil. Out of many, one, says the US Great Seal.
We are not developing a conspiracy theory, as Americans would have to practice a regime in own country, to try dictating the world, and to imagine the people willing is not only a little too hard.

A Shapely and Handsome Fable, chapter 3
Shapely Timaeus remembers a day God spoke and people could hear. A capable She God there was too, a nurse and instructress, lover of wisdom and delicate celestial warps. ■More
Philology
Love of mind and language is the sense of this field of human activity. There is no requirement for a Sentimentalist flair: love is simply an elegant shape for a word (filia), and minds never are fond of affective disorders (logos). Regarding an idea ugly as a mind without natural language — love is dainty. ■More
Objective non-correlative
The original phrase for pathetic fallacy was reportedly “emotional falseness”, thus it might have been that clouds were smiling on Mr. Ruskin too, only nobody told him. ■More
The toolbox republic
Born in Poland — and nobody ever has choice on the time and place to be born — you cannot change your citizenship, unless the President grants permission. There is Polish law to say, the President’s resolve cannot be appealed. ■More
