Just finished teaching the final seminar for the MA Corpus Linguistics module today! I absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. The students from both classes were incredibly sweet! 💖 It’s been such a joy!😊

This is a clear example of
biased and selective framing: brushing over fur farming in other countries but focusing solely on China and linking its farms to “the next pandemic.” Such narratives fuel the stereotypes and racism reinforced by COVID. ☹️

It's interesting to see that "ain't" was once used by writers in the late 18th century. I'm not entirely sure if it was common in the late 18th, though. By 1994 (according to BNC corpus), it was more commonly used by the working class. I've attached a screenshot if you're interested!
