A YEAR AGO

IN the News (May 2018 30) -Dr. Seus Racist ; apparently an issue of the last. Mrs Trump donated some Dr. Seuss books which were rejected on racial grounds. The argument goes on at least from 2017 and seems ridiculous on the face of it - but deals with at least one case of a traditional cartoon of a Chinese boy in clothing that most CHinese people wore at the time - but as we all know everyone looks like westerns now and any traditional dress is a sigh of high political incorrectness - one must be as racist as possible and deny history if it is not western looking to be politically correct. -For days now Roseanne Barr has been in the news over her show being cancelled over racist tweets. It took some work to find the tweets as no one seems willing to republish them; which made me suspicious. The tweet was in this article “itcom star Roseanne Barr apologized on Tuesday for her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, in which she says the former Obama administration adviser is a pr...
            The Charter of Rights Part I                 By E Scholz     I have been speculating about the role of the Charter of Rights (April 17, 1982) in holding back or smoking worse police corruption and abuses of power. As someone how was overall against the Charter when it was created, on the belief that having a law that makes it illegal to break the law is not very effective and just a waste of time I have been over time slowly converted to the value of having a Charter.     The Charter, as my mother produced, caused many initial problems as common sense bending or breaking of civil rights were made illegal. The first big change negative change was that those who were insane and treated well by the state where soon homeless, creating a huge homeless problem in the major cities of Canada. Before, when someone was mentally ...
Hapax legomenon A hapax legomenon is a word that occurs only once within a context, either in the written record of an entire language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. The term is sometimes incorrectly used to describe a word that occurs in just one of an author's works, even though it occurs more than once in that work. Hapax legomenon is a transliteration of Greek ἅπαξ λεγόμενον, meaning " said once". The related terms dis legomenon, tris legomenon, and tetrakis legomenon respectively refer to double, triple, or quadruple occurrences, but are far less commonly used. Hapax legomena are quite common, as predicted by Zipf's law, which states that the frequency of any word in a work is inversely related to its rank in the frequency table. For large corpora, about 40% to 60% of the words are hapax legomena, and another 10% to 15% are dis legomena. Thus, in the Brown Corpus of American English, about half of the 50,000 words are hapax leg...
