[lg policy] Re: Linguistics-related comics from xkcd

[Dave Sayers]

I've updated this document and thought I should also share today's comic by email 
too, because it's so awesome, and also maybe counts as a citation for Patricia 
Cukor-Avila :)

https://xkcd.com/1483/

And I can't possibly pass by the opportunity to re-plug the reason I was personally 
so stoked by this: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/josl.12069 - hey, it's open access :)
