It’s time for a round-up of interesting language/translation/writing-related articles! I have so many that I’ll divide them up into a couple of posts over the next couple of weeks!

“Literally” literally annoys me. My students often say (and write) things such as, “I literally died laughing.” No, you literally did not. Read about it here. Then laugh at this poster, which I own and use in class!
What is the coolest word in the English language? Do you think it’s “discombobulate”? Check out this post.

Learn English in the Philippines, which is apparently the world’s budget teacher.
My mother sent me this from Car Talk.
Finally, is it harder for women writers to get published? This article discusses that.
