Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

It's a beautiful day filled with fun limericks, the weekend is approaching, and 
you've just gotten a brilliant story from SpecGram. What more could you want from 
a Friday? How about more exciting prizes?

So we've released Many Morphologies as our prize today. But in honor of the 
SpecGram story, there will also be a special weekend prize!

Not only has SpecGram taken the time to write a hilarious piece for our story, the
mastermind behind Speculative Grammarian, Trey Jones, has generously donated 25 
SpecGram magnets as a prize... and the winners can pick the design of their choice!

If you are a fan of SpecGram, or find the SpecGram pictures entertaining, this 
should be STRONG incentive to donate. Why? The odds are in your favor! Higher 
number of prizes and lower numbers of weekend donors means that should you donate,
your chances of winning are quite high. In fact, you may even be guaranteed a prize! 
That's some pretty nice math.

Once again, anyone who donates is eligible for this fun prize, so make the weekend 
a little more fun and pick up some SpecGram swag by donating:

Have a great weekend!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

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!
