"People’s spoken language should go unmolested"

Time for a sociolinguist in the news Shout Out, or SITNSO. There is a brief editorial piece on Kirk Hazen in the NYT today, called Say it Loud (via David Durian).

Highlight:
“People’s spoken language should go unmolested,” Dr. Hazen told the grateful students that day, while also urging them to embrace change. “All living language is change.”
