So I found this in my inbox...

that clutter is what I majored in, thank you very much (linuistics). I need to subsribe to their word of the day; I love the OED.

Dear me, a Lingistics major, you poor thing. I am eagerly waiting for the ending of my Linguistics overview class for anthropology majors. Only 2 more classes and then the final and it's all over.

I am eagerly waiting for the ending of my Linguistics overview class for anthropology majors.

Blasphemy! It's the greatest major there is. And an anthropologist of all people should appreciate Linguistics' importance. So much culture is bound up in which words we use, how we use them, how we pronounce them, how we speak with which people.
But if you don't know something before the final, just ask. I tended to prefer the Historical and Socio-Linguistics classes. But I've had classes in phonetics, generative grammar, field studies and all that jazz, so I should be able to answer your questions. Unless it's about chimps "learning" languages. That bored me.

My mother did you both proud. Her undergrad degree (with honors) is in Anthropology, and her Masters is in Linguistics.

My degree was in Scan-tron(tm) taking, aka Psychology.
