Sri Lanka has a million problems but I'm glad functioning democracy isn't one of them. A peaceful transfer of power is taking place following a peaceful election.
Sep 21: Presidential election
Sep 22: President (1st leftist President) elected
Sep 23: former PM resigns
Sep 23: New President sworn in
Sep 24: New PM (3rd woman PM) sworn in
Sep 24: Cabinet appointed
Sep 24: Parliament likely to be dissolved (with general elections planned for November).

I'm on month four of being unemployed so thought I'd post here. I have decade of full stack web dev experience. Expert in #react, #javascript, and #typescript. Looking for fully remote or hybrid positions in the Portland, OR area.
One of my top 100 fave linguistics facts.
A calque is a word made by translating word-by-word from a foreign language. A loan word just uses borrows a foreign word - as it says.
The word loanword is a calque of the German noun Lehnwort. In contrast, the term calque is a loanword, from the French noun calque ("tracing, imitation, close copy")
I have greatly revised my introduction. Whilst you might not want to take a look, I think you'll like that I clearly state that I boost posts that announce authors' work and publications. I do this pretty much unconditionally, as I believe it's the right thing to do, but there is a caveat.
