		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not even talking about apartheid or AIDS. I&#8217;m talking about language. Quite apart from the fact that they incomprehensibly keep pretending their dialect is a language in its own right, they keep applying the wrong words to things, and then passing them on to other languages. Three examples. Exhibit A: Meerkat This is probably [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished these ages ago, but I never got around to reviewing them. John Allen Paulos is the guy who wrote Innumeracy, as I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll remember. Once Upon A Number: The Hidden Mathematical Logic of Stories talks about the relation between statistics and storytelling, in a rather loose sense. He discusses the difference between [...]]]></description>

I always thought it (and the related Dutch helaas and French hélas and whatnot) was derived from eiulo, meaning &#8220;I bemoan&#8221; [...]]]></description>
