I caught it! (Michael fortunately hipped me to it.)

I've stayed up till midnight far too many times this week. (Normally I
catch the show the next day...)

As far as the ADS is concerned, the best publicity one of the promos they
have for the show where they have a text banner across the screen which
includes the words "American Dialect Society" in large type.

And since we know from Grant's report that doing a Google search on
"American Dialect Society" brings a searcher to our page as the first hit,
one can imagine we're getting some traffic off this.

Maybe we'll even see a bump in memberships?
