."i did" does seem to me like a natural construction to the broken lamp question though. not sure if he's saying that i without a verb is unnatural or that any use of i is unnatural.https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/563612/?__twitter_impression=true
sys does "latinx" infuriate you? I've only really seen it written so I'm not sure how people pronounce it.
In the book, Wolfe criticises Darwin and his colleagues for taking partial credit from Alfred Wallace for the theory of evolution and ignoring Wallace's later work on the theory. Wolfe then criticises Noam Chomsky for dismissing Daniel Everett, who disputes Chomsky's claim that all languages are based ultimately on a hard-wired mechanism known as the language acquisition device (LAD). Wolfe argues that speech, not evolution, sets humans apart from animals and is responsible for all of humanity's complex achievements.

she's probably just bad at translating her spoken dialect into writing. not super easy, i don't think.
Pleaded is technically correct. I like to be technically correct, but I don't judge the pledbians. On a related note, what's the past-tense of the verb "to speed"? Speeded and sped both sound derpy to me.
