About me

In meatspace, I am a linguist who specializes in language variation and sociophonetics. I believe the knowledge academics produce should be accessible, and so try to combat FUTON bias by contributing using information that may be holed up behind a paywall or in dusty, old dead trees. If you need access to offline sources to verify my citations or improve an article you're working on, consider asking at the resource exchange or feel free to ask me directly.

About my username

A wug is a fictional bird-like creature made up by Dr. Jean Berko Gleason to test when children learn English morphology. She would show a child a card that read "Look, there's a wug" that also showed a picture of one wug. Then she would show a picture of two wugs with the caption "Look, now there are two of them! There are two ____?". The child should respond "wugs" if they know how to pluralize normally in English. Wugapodes is a joke plural based on a rare plural form of octopus, octopodes; the joke being that, instead of the child learning to make plurals with -s, they learned to make it with -podes.

Many people ask me how to pronounce it: you don't.

For tackling the eight Los Espantos related GA reviews at one time, I know that was not an easy task to do and that you were not forced to do so. Each review got the highest scrutiny and were better for it. Truely appreciate your time anx efforts on this.  MPJ-DK  11:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

For your work with WugBot and DYK. I've been away from Misplaced Pages and by extension DYK for a while. When I came back and saw that someone had finally worked to help automate the DYK review process it made my day. Thanks for all your great work! Best, Mifter (talk) 01:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
