Fun video. "Finding your name in the dictionary as a noun is a sure-fire litmus test for having made a impact on culture and history. Just look at OED-approved fine folks like Charles Boycott, Samuel Maverick, Joseph-Ignace Guillotine, Henry Shrapnel, and Lord Cardigan. But there are unsuspected downsides to being reduced to a noun - just ask suffragette and women's rights pioneer Amelia Bloomer, now equated with a baggy pair of women's underpants."

"Explanations of psychological phenomena seem to generate more public interest when they contain neuroscientific information. ... The neuroscience information had a particularly striking effect on nonexperts' judgments of bad explanations, masking otherwise salient problems in these explanations."

shared by Sarah Steele on 14 Oct 11 - No Cached

age variables displaying effects consistent with the Gender-Linked Language Effect, seven were more indicative of male speakers: impersonals, fillers, elliptical sentences, units, justifiers, geographical references, and spatial references.

These clusters of male and female contributors to the effect are discussed in terms of potential underlying communication strategies.
