No, not yet, there's three episodes left to air. But DVD/Bluray information usually comes out in advance of a season ending.

Grammar might be an expression of neuroscience.

...it would?

Twelve does care, though, he just doesn't show it externally. When this season has he let someone die when he could have saved them? You look at the mummy episode, for example, yeah, he was pretty callous, but there was literally nothing he could have done to save the earlier victims. And as soon as he had a chance to…

I'm not a DW lore expert, but maybe you know: has there been cases on-screen where a Time Lord switched sex after a regeneration? I really only know about Romana, what's-his-face the monk from Planet of the Spiders, and the Master, but all of them stayed the same sex. It'd be really interesting to have a female…

Smith and Jones is honestly one of my favorite episodes. I hardly would call it the best episode, it's got very small scale and is ridiculous if you stop to think about it for ten seconds, but there's something about it that's just so fun. There's nothing threatening the universe, there's no big mystery the Doctor has…

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the concepts of exaggeration, sarcasm, and metaphor, so I'll just give up now.

But as I said, that distinction actually is not historical, not that the older meaning of a word makes it any more "right" of a meaning than any other. The supposed "rule" that "less" can't refer to countable nouns comes from Robert Baker's personal preference—he was quite clear when he wrote about it that he personall…

Oh, no no no, don't get me wrong, "fewer" really doesn't work with uncountable nouns. I meant the "less can't be used with countable nouns" thing was Baker's personal preference.

Yes, yes, but I'm talking about dialects where "you" is no longer the second person plural pronoun, but instead is exclusively singular, the second person plural pronoun having been replaced by "y'all", "you guys", etc.

Okay, let me start over.

Well, people's idiolects are different, you don't have to adopt it yourself unless you want to. :)

Bit late for that...

...I think you mean verbs into nouns?

Curiously, language tends to get by just fine without logic.

And why would that be? The whole less/fewer thing comes from the personal preference of Robert Baker. It bears no resemblance to how English is or ever has been used in the real world.

Really, the second-person plural gets used for politeness in some dialects? That's quite interesting. Doesn't work in my dialect (I use "you guys" extensively), so I guess I just assumed nobody else did it either.

So, gotta ask... when you use the word "really", are you conscious that it's been derived from "real", or do you simply use it as an intensifier because that's what it is?

"You" is a great example, because it's a case where there is a gap (how do you distinguish between the singular and plural second person?), and you'll notice that in many dialects, it's been filled already! "You guys", "y'all", and the like are all ways that different dialects of English have developed a new…

No offense, but there were between 30 and 50 million people in the Americas in 1492, along with one of the largest cities in the world (Tenochtitlan, which had a population of over 200,000). It doesn't even make logical sense to think that they all had exactly one culture and all had exactly the same perspective on…
