Correction: Call for papers: American Dialect Society Annual Meeting 2010, Baltimore

[Grant Barrett]

Two small corrections:

Allan Metcalf's email address is americandialect at mac.edu, not what was
given in the previous message.

The web site of the Linguistic Society of America was not separated by
a space from the previous word and so may not be properly clickable in
some email programs. That address is <http://www.lsadc.org>.

Thanks,
