Subject: Help LINGUIST raise $2000 in 24 Hours!

Fund Drive 2005 is now on! Visit http://linguistlist.org/donate.html to
donate now!

Dear Readers,

A generous LINGUIST subscriber has offered to donate $2000 (with a matching
$2000 funds from her employer) if LINGUIST can raise $2000 in 24 hours!

Help us maintain the services you've come to expect, by contributing to this
urgent drive for funds!

To kick this drive off in "Fun Ddrive" style, here are some of the limericks
we've been sent by our wonderful subscribers!

--------------------

There was a young morphologist
Who relied on the Linguist List
When it came to the fund-drive
S/he would always contrive
To ensure those postings were missed.

But another young morphologist
Who relied on the Linguist List
Thought harder about it
Couldn't live without it
And decided that a few dollars to help the good
cause along a bit wouldn't really be missed

by Greville Corbett

--------------------

There was a young syntactician
Supporting LL was his mission
He contributed each year
By forgoing his beer
That admirable young syntactician.

by Glenville Corbett

--------------------

It's too much for me, I confess
This Balkan linguistic excess
Bosnians Croats & Serbs
Can't agree on their verbs
..why don't we just speak BCS?

by Curtis Ford

--------------------

Since one language should mean just one nation,
Indonesian isn't Malaysian
Farsi/Dari are two,
Just like Hindi/Urdu,
And Serbs don't speak any Croatian.

by Curtis Ford

--------------------

A lovely girl from Mauna Loa,
Went shopping for a pink feather boa.
With a snap of her glove
She asked William Labov
Who told her, "They're on the foath floah!"

by Curtis Ford

--------------------

There once was a linguist named Noam
Who rarely from Cambridge would roam;
Active in politics,
In addition to linguistics,
He wrote many a challenging tome.

by Jack Hall

--------------------

Paying listers will hardly be tame,
Whilst seeking a scape goat to blame
For the demise of the service.
Non-donaters look nervous,
While bashfully hiding their shame

by Michael Horlick

--------------------

There are quite a few linguists whose fate
was improved by LL's up-to-date
job announcements and postings.
Yet site maintenance and hosting
need commitment and money - donate!

by Veronika Koller

--------------------

There once was a guy who left home;
Unpopular, he felt all alone.
"Oh, how can it be
My own government hates me?"
But alas, there is no face like Noam.

by Diane Ollie-coleman

--------------------

There was a good man of Saint James
Who lectured on words and their names.
He said: "Word formation
is not mere speculation.
Get the facts! And then give them new names!"

by Przemyslaw Pawelec

--------------------

This list gives you full information
On Aleut, Baluchi, Croatian
All the way down to Z.
So I'm sure you'll agree
It's well worth a modest donation.

by Michael Swan

--------------------

There is a huge site of linguistics
(Its name is not effortless - tongue-twistics?).
It sends many news
A linguist could use.
You should donate without any mean tricks!

by Nora Wiedenmann

--------------------

Aren't they wonderful?!  We are consistently amazed by just how creative
all of you all can be when called upon!!

You can vote for your favorite (or enter yourself) now at:
http://linguistlist.org/limericks.html

Please, please, please donate now and help us raise that magically tripling
$2000.

Thank you,
Your LINGUIST Crew

Subject: How to donate...

This Year the LINGUIST List hope to raise $48,867. This money will go to
help keep the List running, by supporting all of our Student Editors for
the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how
to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is
38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that
the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally
a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check
if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
