What Teams are Saying
"We went from search start to move-in at a great new team space in 48 hours. Couldn't have done it without LiquidSpace."
Michael Groeneman
Director of Engineering of the NFX Guild
"As a small company, you don't want to commit to 5 years. We found space that will allow us to grow and we still have every convenience
plus that
we'd ever want in an office. It's packaged perfectly."
John Weiss
Co-Founder of The SPEAKEASY Agency
"We found a team space that accurately reflects the ethos of likeminded start ups and has given us a beautiful office in which we are proud to greet clients. I would recommend LiquidSpace to anyone looking for a space to help take their business to the next level!"
Jenna Menking
CEO of Gotham Group
"The team was small, so working out of a shared space makes a lot of sense for us. Not only do we avoid the cabin fever of working together as a tiny team, but we also get shared amenities and services. As COO, that means I don't have to deal with the hassles of being office manager, like ordering toilet paper and arranging for cleaning. The flexibility of the LiquidSpace platform was also really compelling. We booked on month-to-month terms so we can scale up our space to match team size as we need it."
Daniel Yaffe
COO and Co-founder of AnyRoad

MOSCOW (AP) -- A Moscow regional court on Friday upheld a lawsuit filed by a prominent cosmonaut against the Russian space training center complaining about wages.
Col. Sergei Volkov, who has logged 199 days in space, was contesting a recent government decision to strip retired military men like himself of extra pay for their space experience.
The court in the Moscow region where the Russian cosmonauts' training ground is located upheld Volkov's lawsuit, ordering the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center to pay cosmonauts with military backgrounds for the spaceflights they have completed. It also awarded him 1.4 million rubles ($43,500) in back wages.
Extra pay for space experience for veteran cosmonauts like Volkov could be equal to their monthly salary.
The 40-year-old Volkov, who started out as a military pilot and went on long-term missions at the International Space Station in 2008 and 2011, serves as the head of the cosmonauts at the training center that he sued.
Cosmonaut Sergei Zaletin told the RIA Novosti news agency that Volkov was "representing all military cosmonauts."
Instances of Russian officials suing their agencies are extremely rare.

Nantucket Weekend Shirt and Short GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.
August 10, 2008
The black and white checked pattern and white trimmed shorts reminded me of the classic New England look. Unfortunately, here in Pennsylvania we don't have too many lighthouses. That would have been my ideal setting. My second plan was walking down to the local docks. However, sailboats just aren't practical here so the only watercrafts to photograph were either pontoon or paddle boats. Not very Nantucket.
This giveaway is for the shirt AND the shorts. Around the neckline of the shirt I sewed a ruffled collar. I also sewed a velvet black ribbon into the waist that ties at the front. The shorts are black with two pockets on the side. Both pockets are lined with white trim as well as the ends of the leg holes. Lily looked like she was ready to run to the market with her black and canvas bag. All she needs is a baguette and head of lettuce.
Lily is fairly thin for a four-year old. Case in point, she wore one of Molly's skirts to Hersheypark....A 6-9 month skirt! So I would say that this outfit would fit a child around 2T to 3T.
Last day for posts is Friday 8/15/08. Winner will be announced Sunday morning!
As usual, if you would like a chance to win this shirt and shorts just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

I just have to ask how you find time to sew outfits and then just give them away??? If I ever made anything, I would frame it and keep it forever.
I would love to win this outfit for one of my girls. We have lots of lighthouses in the Northwest. My girls wear 4T-5T so it might be too small. If it is too small, we would happily give it to our 2 year old cousin. Her mother loves to sew and loves cute outfits. She would probably even accessorize the outfit with a fancy bow.
We're going to keep entering and hope that we win one of your great outfits someday! - August 10, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Oh how beautiful...I'd love to win this for the smallest of my girls. She is very small and actually still wears size 18-24 month clothing and she's five years old. She was born 6 weeks early and just the cutest little thing.

"GrammyAnn" here. The thing that amazes me the most, I think, is
your photography...the backgrounds...the poses...the 'props' and everything! And, of course all the clothes are really cute and interesting. Not to mention how
adorable Lily is. I imagine how you must have to work with her to get her to stand a certain way, etc. She must be getting used to it by now! Lily could be (and, in fact,is) a little model.
Gotta' run. I have to leave for work soon and don't know the difference between 'time' and
'eternity' when I'm on the computer writing to someone. It was fun watching Molly on Saturday. Have a nice day...

Perianal Fistulae in Dogs
Perianal fistulae are draining openings in the skin around the anus that do not heal. The word fistulae is the plural of fistula, which is an abnormal tract or passageway from an abscess, organ, or body cavity to the body surface. The term perianal describes the area around the anus.

More than 85% of cats over 4 years of age have evidence of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a progressive inflammation of the supporting structures surrounding the teeth and is the main cause of early tooth loss.
Read More Periodontal Disease in Dogs
Your veterinarian can see signs of gingivitis and tartar buildup by examining your dog's mouth. However, since most periodontal disease occurs beneath the gum line, the only way to truly assess your dog's mouth is to perform an examination while your pet is under anesthesia. Your veterinarian can use a dental probe to measure any loss of attachment around each tooth and take dental radiographs (x-rays) to assess for bone loss, abscesses, and other problems.
Read More Pet Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Cardiac arrest means that the heart is not beating and breathing has stopped, resulting in a lack of oxygen and blood throughout the body. If your pet has a cardiac arrest, you may be able to help save his or her life by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is sometimes called cardiopulmonary–cerebral resuscitation (CPCR), until help arrives or you can get your pet to your veterinarian. By distributing much-needed oxygen and blood throughout a pet's body, CPR can help do the work that the lungs and heart have stopped doing.

Pet insurance can help you budget for unforeseen medical expenses for your pet. Generally, the premium cost for a good policy is low compared with the relative peace of mind and financial help it can offer. Sorting through the various plan choices and options, however, can be daunting. Here are some tips to help you make sense of the process.

Are you making charitable donations at year's end? If so, you should know about some of the financial "fine print" involved, as the right moves could potentially bring more of a benefit to both you and your chosen charity.
Keep in mind, this article is for informational purposes only and is not a replacement for real-life advice. Make sure to consult your tax, legal, or accounting professionals before modifying your charitable gifting strategy.
Evaluate the Impact
How can you maximize the impact of your gifts? First, consider giving to a qualified charity with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Also, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, and Give Well have websites that offer information to help you evaluate a charity and learn about how effectively it utilizes donations. If you are considering a large donation, it is often wise to ask the charity involved how it will use your gift.
If you're still working, you may want to check with your employer. Some companies match charitable contributions made by their employees, an often-overlooked opportunity to give back.
Itemize to Optimize
To deduct charitable donations, you must itemize them on IRS Schedule A. So, you'll need to log each donation you make. Ideally, the charity will provide you with a form to document proof of your contribution. If the charity does not have such a form handy (and some do not), a receipt, a credit or debit card statement, a bank statement, or a canceled check can work. The IRS may want to know three things: the name of the charity, the gifted amount, and the date of your gift.1
Remember, itemized deductions may only have tax benefits when they exceed the standard income tax deduction, so be sure to check on the standard deduction amount for your tax filing year.
Show Your Appreciation
Many charities welcome non-cash donations. In fact, donating an appreciated asset can be a tax-savvy move. You may wish to explore a gift of highly appreciated securities. Selling securities can lead to a taxable event. As an alternative, you or a financial professional can write a letter of instruction to a bank or brokerage, which can facilitate authorizing a transfer of shares to a charity.
This transfer can accomplish three things:
- You can manage paying the tax you would normally pay upon selling the shares.
- You may be able to take a current-year tax deduction for the full fair market value of the shares.
- The charity gets the full value of the shares, not their after-tax net value. This can be a winning strategy all around.1
A Policy of Giving Back
Do you have a life insurance policy? If you make an irrevocable gift of that policy to a qualified charity, you can get a current-year income tax deduction. If you keep paying the policy premiums, each payment may become a deductible charitable donation. (Deduction limits can apply.) If you pay premiums for at least three years after the gift, that could reduce the size of your taxable estate. The death benefit may be transferred out of your taxable estate, in any case.2
You should consider determining whether you are insurable before implementing a strategy involving life insurance. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments. Several factors will affect the cost and availability of life insurance, including age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Life insurance policies have expenses, including mortality and other charges. If a policy is surrendered prematurely, the policyholder also may pay surrender charges and have income tax implications.
Whatever your situation, getting advice from a tax or financial professional can help you give wisely as the year comes to a close. We're here to help find a strategy that works for your situation.

George Plimpton boxed with Archie Moore, played quarterback for the Detroit Lions, and played percussion for the New York Philharmonic. He did these jobs, and many others, as an amateur. Plimpton was a professional writer. A new documentary about his life makes the case that Plimpton's best story was his own story, as NPR's Joel Rose reports.
JOEL ROSE, BYLINE: When you listen to George Plimpton's voice, it's like hearing echoes of a New York that no longer exists.
GEORGE PLIMPTON: I decided finally to pack the football. I carried the suitcase down to the street, and went out to Idlewild Airport to catch an airplane to Detroit. I was going there as the Lions' last-string quarterback...
TOM BEAN: It's that old Yankee aristocratic accent. It seemed effective when George did it, but it was kind of a product of his background, I think.
ROSE: Tom Bean co-directed the documentary "Plimpton." He says Plimpton's voice was shaped by his upbringing on the Upper East Side, and his education at boarding school and Harvard. Bean says there was never any question about who should narrate the film.
BEAN: From the get-go, we felt that making a film about a guy who is a memoirist, who is a writer, who is a storyteller, it was absolutely essential that we have him tell as much of the story as we possibly could, in his own words.
ROSE: Luckily, Plimpton left behind lots of words for the directors to use. When he wasn't pitching to Willie Mays or acting next to John Wayne or taming lions, Plimpton was often on speaking tours, or talking about his work on TV.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Imagine, though - you know, a lot of us think about fantasies. You not only get a chance to live them out, but you get paid for it.
PLIMPTON: Well, I have to write. A lot of people forget that. They think I'm some sort of a crazy buffoon who can't quite make up putting his mind what he wants to do in life. But it's not that at all. It's, I'm a professional writer and have this device, really, of trying other people's professions.
ROSE: Plimpton wasn't sure what to do with his life when friend and author Peter Matthiessen invited him to help start a literary magazine in France, in 1953. "The Paris Review" didn't actually publish reviews. The quarterly magazine focused instead on short stories by young writers and long, deep interviews with masters of the craft. "The Paris Review" moved to New York in the 1970s, and Plimpton ran it out of his house.
Jeanne McCulloch is a former managing editor at the magazine who now sits on its board.
JEANNE MCCULLOCH: One of the most amazing things, to me, about George, is of course, when he started this magazine it was his peer group he was working with, right? By the time I came along - I mean, he could have been any of our fathers and yet, he still had this great spirit and wanted to be one of the gang - and really was.
ROSE: "The Paris Review" helped launch dozens of literary careers, including those of Philip Roth, Terry Southern, V.S. Naipaul and Jeffrey Eugenides. He remembers showing up at one of the Review's famous parties with a manuscript in his pocket.
JEFFREY EUGENIDES: As reassurance that...
EUGENIDES: ...you know, I had some reason to be there. And it was almost like a secret weapon in my pocket, and allowed me to get through the evening.
ROSE: That manuscript became the first chapter of "The Virgin Suicides," and it was published in "The Paris Review" not long after.
EUGENIDES: That was a crucial moment. It's almost like your big break; it's almost like show business, in a sense. It was after being published in "The Paris Review" that things started to turn around for me.
ROSE: But for all the young talent Plimpton helped to nurture at "The Paris Review," his own writing wasn't always taken as seriously. The film's co-director, Luke Poling, thinks that's partly because Plimpton's magazine articles and books were often about sports.
LUKE POLING: Those who write and appreciate great literature perhaps don't appreciate sport as much, and vice versa. And so George was kind of stuck in this between world where both sides admire him to an extent, but maybe don't fully grasp the greatness of what he was able to do.
ROSE: The documentary doesn't shy away from this criticism of Plimpton. The filmmakers interviewed writer James Salter.
JAMES SALTER: Perhaps unfairly, I thought of him as a dilettante. And you can admire his guts, his courage in doing some of the things he did, but he was writing in a genre that really doesn't permit greatness.
ROSE: Plimpton may not have helped his own literary reputation by doing TV commercials for all kinds of stuff.
PLIMPTON: See your dealer today about value-priced Buicks.
It's a knockdown, screw drive, automatic Genie garage door opener system.
Excuse me, have you compared them to Intellivision?
ROSE: Plimpton wasn't doing this to line his pockets. He pumped the money from the commercials and his grueling speaking tours back into "The Paris Review." For many years, as Plimpton says in the film, the magazine's finances were basically indistinguishable from his own.
PLIMPTON: An accountant came to me the other day and said, do you know how much this magazine has cost you? And he named something that sounded like the national debt.
PLIMPTON: I couldn't believe it. But you just - you would feel that if it did collapse or couldn't continue, that you'd lose something even worse than a limb. And so, I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. I would give up, I think, my own writing before I would give up anything in "The Paris Review."
ROSE: George Plimpton died in 2003, just a few weeks before the magazine's 50th anniversary. "The Paris Review" just celebrated its 60th birthday. The film "Plimpton" opens tonight in New York, and next month in Los Angeles.

King James Version
Genesis 41
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

A Harry Potterstar is coming to a Twilightstar's defense.
In an interview with Vanity FairItalia, Emma Watson defended Kristen Stewart in regards to last summer's scandal where Stewart admitted to cheating on Robert Pattinson with Snow White and the Hunstmandirector Rupert Sanders.
"Those who criticized her are the same people that think that being rich and famous is like being covered in some kind of magic powder that makes life perfect," Watson said, according to Yahoo. "Nothing can go wrong in your wonderful world. For these people, Kristen deserves all the bad things that have been thrown at her because she had an amazing life and she ruined it."

"I don't know how to explain it, but it sure isn't perfect," she continued. "I thought that the media picked on her in a very horrible way. Kristen is human, just like everybody else, and she's so young. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone. It's not fair to consider them matters of public interest."
Watson, who went out for a girls night in November with Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence, did note that she understood why Stewart was attacked so harshly since fans were really invested in her relationship with Pattinson, which mirrors their characters' relationship in the Twilight films.

never mind
Never mind.
(As pop culture informs us, this is spelt with a space in BrE--as in the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, but sometimes without one in AmE, as in Nirvana's Nevermind. [PS: see comments for further discussion of this point!])
Ideally, I should say never mind with a sing-song quality. It's not that it's an exclusively British saying, it's just that it's used a lot more here--wherever I would say:
Oh well.
...which I say altogether too much.
I had a hard time getting used to this kind of 'Well what can you do? We might as well change the topic of conversation' never mind . Early in my days here I was telling an Englishman about something that I found upsetting (involving a close family member and emergency surgery), and his response was NEver MIND. Now this may have been a defen{c/s}e mechanism against a foreigner who was breaking British privacy mores, but I still found it a very glib response (how could I not mind?!). But a few years later, I reali{s/z}e it's more a statement of resignation (stiff upper lip and all that) than of lack of sympathy.
I had a similar bristly kind of reaction to the use of It's a pleasure as a response to Thank you--a response that is far more common in BrE (and South African E) than in AmE. After shame-facedly asking to borrow money until payday from my boss in South Africa, he handed over some number of rand and said It's a pleasure at which point I (AmE) wigged out and exclaimed It is NOT a pleasure! It's an inconvenience to you! Ah, I know how to show gratitude, don't I? That's probably why I'm not allowed to have nice things like a mention in the Guardian. It's karma.

That's a frightful shame. Never mind. Ah well. Maybe next time?
That bloody sucks!
I find the comparison between different types of English far more interesting that any of those other blogs. - Anonymous05 February, 2007 06:05
I have to say, it isn't a very good collection of language blogs, with the notable exception of LanguageLog, and of course, your exclusion only confirms this.
I had a brief look at buzzword hell and the comments seem to be dominated by those opposed to anything longer than three syllables. How riveting. - Anonymous05 February, 2007 07:50
Additionally, 'Never mind' and 'Ah well' are among those phrases that have a fairly close association with 'I'll put the kettle on and make a nice cup of tea'...
ReplyDelete I think that one shade of AmE meaning conveyed by the BrE "Never mind" is something like "suck it up". It is a resigned, rather angry, stiff-upper -lipishness: what you say when there is nothing further to be done about a disagreeable fact.
But then that may not be the sense in which "suck it up" is used.When spoken with the sing-song intonation, I don't think never mind is meant unsympathetically/angrily. People say it of their own situations, as in I didn't get that job I wanted. [bit of a sulk, followed by straightening oneself out.] NEver mind.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for all the lovely compliments/commiserations. I wasn't fishing for them, really! (Well, mostly-really.)
I'm sure the less complimentary comments will start any minute now...- Anonymous05 February, 2007 13:51
Just because Nirvana spelled it "nevermind," doesn't mean they're right. There's no such word and all Americans that copy this spelling are dolts.
ReplyDelete That's not very friendly, Kay. Is this me getting the uncomplimentary comments I was worried about?
There is a word nevermind. It's a US colloquialism, recorded in the OED, among other sources. Americans aren't copying Nirvana, Nirvana copied Americans.
The one-word nevermind is recorded in its noun sense in the OED, as in:
1971 B. MALAMUD Tenants 177 Those are old books of his he wrote long ago, says Willie. Both been published. Then it makes no nevermind if we burn them.
Written English exists to represent the language, which is a spoken entity in its natural state. However, the spoken language changes faster than the written language, and British English is much more resistant to getting rid of the space in words once they become compound words. (It also likes to put spaces between non-words [morphemes] and words, as in non word, which is how my British students like to write it.) There's a lot of variation in BrE and AmE in spacing...for example, good bye versus goodbye (the latter only came became playable in British Scrabble when they took on the international dictionary). It's used as a single word, but written (often) as two.
Part of the way to tell whether something is being used as a compound word or not is whether it can be broken up with other words in between. Another is the intonational pattern it has. In this particular interjectional use, I can see no particular reason why never mind shouldn't be written as one word. It doesn't have the intonational pattern of the command it's based on, and doesn't really have the same meaning as the form that can be interrupted by you (never you mind...). (Also, compare with the intonational pattern of a true never command--like Never talk!
So, I've no problem with the one-word spelling--in fact, I think it makes sense.
Though I should say--the Nirvana use is more the meaning that I'm talking about here, whereas the Sex Pistols' version is more the command ('never you mind the bollocks'). I just enjoyed citing two seminal pieces of punk/post-punk music together to make a point about spelling!I should also say, the last comment was written in haste, and I'm not absolutely 100% committed to everything in it, but I still like single-word nevermind as an interjection.
ReplyDeleteYep, there you are. I think never mind as an interjection can be considered a compound word, but not being a morphologist, I'm not going to bet the farm--or (more appropriately) the (BrE) flat/(AmE) apartment on it.
Are there any morphologists out there who'd like to make a firmer claim?- Anonymous06 February, 2007 04:42
Rest assured that "nevermind," sans space, would never make it past the copy desk of any major U.S. newspaper or magazine (unless the reporter were reviewing "Nevermind"). But to your point, Lynne, I envy the French with their expressive "tant pis" (accompanied by even more eloquent Gallic shrug). It just says it all.
ReplyDelete If it's any consolation, I've gotten many more hits from your posting than I have from the Guardian. Interesting, eh?
ReplyDeleteWhen comparing the two dialects, I always find the difference in connotation between phrases commonly used in both dialects more interesting than the use of separate words to mean the same thing. As an American, I can understand your shock when someone told you "never mind" after you related a story of a sick friend. That would come across as quite insensitive if not downright rude. For the British, does "never mind" still have the same connotation of resignation when used in a phrase as in the Sex Pistols' album name? I would translate the album title to "Ignore / Dismiss the B.S."
ReplyDelete- Anonymous06 February, 2007 14:27
A shame your blog wasn't mentioned - it's currently one of my favorites.
Oh yeah, and Microsoft Word's spellchecker doesn't like "nevermind," and I say "oh well" all the time too. Hi Lynneguist,
My English husband uses the "Never mind..." phrase a lot when I think he should be responding in a more sympathetic way to whatever minor tragedy I'm relating to him. I honestly thought he wasn't taking me serious enough. After being over here for 4 years, I honestly didn't realize the real meaning of the phrase.
Thanks. You have helped my marriage!
PS I think "The Guardian" really goofed leaving you off their list!Thanks for the repeated consolations!
Indeed, never mind is not prescriptively allowed as one word--unless it is the noun (which is a colloquial usage, and therefore perhaps not surprising that MS-Word doesn't like it). My wondering-wanderings a few comments back are more about whether it can be considered a word (on linguistic/morphological grounds) in spite of having a space in it (and therefore whether the space should be negotiable!).
A lot of people (especially the type who like to read language blogs, of course!) have strong feelings about the prescriptivist issue--it should be spelt this way because it's spelt this way (or because it comes from two words, etc.). But that's a different issue than what I was trying to get at. Oh well. Never mind!
As for the Sex Pistols' title, the very fact that never mind has a direct object (the bollocks) tells us that this isn't the interjection never mind, but a more proper command ('don't pay any attention to'). The Nirvana title (if we interpret it in the context of the song 'Smells like Teen Spirit') does have the sense that we hear a lot in BrE (and, as I said, we also hear it in AmE, just not to the same extent). (From lyricsfreak.com:)
And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
It's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
We haven't got(ten) into the AmE youth-use of whatever...but let's save that for another time!Can someone please give some more details about the British usage of "never mind." When my British friends use the expression, I have to stop and think about it. Sometimes I think they mean "don't let it get you down" or "don't let it bother you" when they say "never mind".
ReplyDeleteI think you've interpreted it correctly, Ken. BrE speakers are probably more likely to use it about their own situation (e.g. "I didn't get that job. Never mind."), in which case it means 'I can't/won't/shouldn't let that get me down'.
As Janet's and my experiences have shown, it feels odd to many AmE speakers that BrE speakers use it about their addressee's situation as well as their own. As in:
A: I didn't get that job.
B: Never mind. (Another one will come along.)
In the particular person/circumstance that I was talking about, it had the effect of being a topic-changing device as well. I frequently hear it used that way, which leads to Janet and me feeling like it seems a bit insensitive. (i.e. 'sorry to hear that your life is a misery. let's talk about something else'). But I really don't believe it's done out of insensitivity--just different (a) cultural rules about discussing personal matters and (b) different understanding of the use of never mind. There may also be some gender issues here besides the BrE/AmE issues! But on the (a) topic, you might be interested in Kate Fox's book Watching the English.- Anonymous06 February, 2007 18:11
That's an out-of-date list, isn't it? Surely it was put up before yours even started. E-Julie really has left the building (Language Legend).
ReplyDelete - Anonymous06 February, 2007 22:28
Now I'm curious, what are the British "rules" about discussing personal matters? I assume that it is very taboo based on your postings, which doesn't strike me as a specifically British thing.
ReplyDelete I hesitate to post this, because there are bound to be lots and lots of responses saying "but we're not all like that" or "but Americans are like that too", etc. Of course! There's variation in every culture! But the social sciences are about making generali{s/z}ations, and generali{s/z}ations are what are useful if you want to talk about the character of a culture. It's also the case that a lot of the rules, as they are stated below, are common sayings in both cultures--but it's what the culture does with them that matters. So...with that as a preface, I quote from pages 43-44 of Kate Fox's Watching the English:
"...a disproportionate number of our most influential social rules and maxims are concerned with the maintenance of privacy: we are taught to mind our own business, not to pry, to keep ourselves to ourselves, not to make a scene or fuss or draw attention to ourselves, and never to wash our dirty linen in public. [...] 'Private' information is not given away lightly or cheaply to all and sundry, but only to those we know and trust. This is one of the reasons why foreigners often complain that the English are cold, reserved, stuffy and standoffish. In most other cultures, revealing basic personal information--your name, what you do for a living, whether you are married or have children, where you live--is no big deal: in England, extracting such apparently trivial information about a new acquaintance can be like pulling teeth--every question makes us wince and recoil."
I could tell a few anecdotes here, but I can't think of any that I could tell without offending the subject's sense of privacy, so I'll stick with Kate Fox. (But really, you should read her whole chapter on gossip to get the whole picture.) So here's a quote from p. 39:
"The 'brash American' approach: 'Hi, I'm Bill from Iowa,' particularly if accompanied by an outstretched hand and a beaming smile, makes the English wince and cringe. The American tourists and visitors I spoke to during my research had been both baffled and hurt by this reaction. 'I just don't get it,' said one woman. 'You say your name and they sort of wrinkle their noses, like you've told them something a bit too personal and embarrassing.' 'That's right,' her husband added. 'And then they give you this tight little smile and say "Hello"--kind of pointedly not giving you their name, to let you know you've made this big social boo-boo. What the hell is so private about a person's name, for God's sake?
'I ended up explaining, as kindly as I could, that the English do not want to know your name, or tell you theirs, until a much greater degree of intimacy has been established--like maybe when you marry their daughter.'
(OK, the last bit is an exaggeration--but you get the picture.) Better Half, by the way, HATES IT when I read this book aloud to him (as I did often over Christmas). He says it's libelous. I think it's too close for comfort.
I find the book very interesting, but her ample and odd use of colons turns my brain inside out.- Anonymous07 February, 2007 01:28
Argh, you're completely right: That extract is way too close for comfort! It made me cringe when I was reading it. (I am British, obviously.)
ReplyDelete - Anonymous07 February, 2007 03:10
For me (I'm American), "never mind" is used more when you are dismissing or retracting a proposal or a request. As in:
A: Hello, I'd like to file a missing person's report on my husband.
B: Yes ma'am, if I could just have your . . .
A: Never mind, he just walked in.
Sometimes it is used impatiently, as in:
A: I'd like a coke please.
B: Small medium or large? Diet coke, diet pepsi, pepsi lite, cherry coke, or pepsi free? By the way, our soda machine is being serviced, so it will be a 20 minute wait.
A: Oh, never mind! [storms out] - Anonymous07 February, 2007 22:12
*grins* If I get a - 'Hi, I'm Bill from London,' accompanied by an outstretched hand and a beaming smile - my instinct would be to step back and ask myself "What is going to try to sell me?" or "Why is he picking on me? Does he have an accomplice?"
Because that behaviour would be going against the norm here.
When I am in the US, I expect that type of greeting and respond to it more positively - even though it seems obtrusive and forced to me. I KNOW it isn't forced - but I would have to force myself to behave like that. *shrug*
I have similar feelings when I travel to family in France - getting kissed four times by complete strangers seems equally unusual and intrusive to me - even though its perfectly natural for the French.
I wonder how an American in New York would react if a complete stranger walked up to them, grabbed their arms and kisses them twice on each cheek? - Anonymous08 February, 2007 01:32
I think perhaps "never mind" has a broader range of meanings here in Britain: from "I feel so sorry about your acute anxiety, and I wish I could remove it from you; here's a hug" (though one would never reply to the news of a loved one's death with "Never mind"!), to "Don't burden me with that - I've got more important things on my plate!" - said, for example, in response to "I've just broken one of the Crown Derby pieces." A lot is conveyed by the non-verbal means of communication, and by the context of the conversation.
> but her ample and odd use of colons turns my brain inside out.
Do you think Kate Fox ought to read Lynne Truss? :-) - Anonymous08 February, 2007 01:45
Ah, thanks for your explanation about the British being more private - I had no idea that it could be to such an extreme (like withholding one's own name) and had assumed it simply meant not discussing private, health, or family matters with anyone outside of one's own family - a rule that was drilled into me while growing up.
Being a cashier I have found that some of us Americans can be very very open with people who are essentially strangers. I've had people talk to me for up to a half hour venting their troubles - the sorts of things I would never say to a close friend let alone a complete stranger. Here's an example from a US encounter. I was buying a drink at a convenience store (=BrE corner shop) in Urbana, Illinois early one morning (for me that means about 10am). The man at the (BrE) till/(AmE) register, said "Oh come on, smile it can't be that bad."
On this particular occasion I (AmE) wigged out and said to him that for all he knew I had inoperable cancer! For all he knew my mother could have just died! It was not my responsibility to smile for his benefit--it's my face!
Not a British response at all, but the man's behavio(u)r was absolutely American. It's that kind of presumption of familiarity that makes Americans different from the British. Another is how loudly Americans speak in public--so that everything they say is imposed on everyone else. (Experienced tonight courtesy of some exchange students on the train. They're going to London tomorrow. Some of them are going to leave at about 7. Some of them think that's the crack of dawn. None of them knows what's going on with Mark...)- Anonymous08 February, 2007 10:34
No, sorry, you can't have that one! I am always, always being told to "Cheer up love, it might never 'appen" by (male) strangers in the street in Britain, and also know many unpleasant and personal details about various Brighton teenagers' lives just from sitting on the same bus/ train as them! Ugh.
ReplyDelete Point taken, Ally, but:
The 'privacy' rules we're talking about (and the 'deference culture' in general) are lessening in general and are particularly less likely to be found (a) among youth (whether this is about being young or about a change in society must be asked. Probably some of both), and (b) among the working class, or generally any 'disenfranchised' subculture (see point (a)).
So, yes, teenagers on busses are obnoxious generally, but have you ever been on the Tube or in a restaurant with middle-aged US tourists? Don't they speak more loudly than just about everyone else!
(And would you agree that my (AmE) freak-out was a really American reaction?)- Anonymous08 February, 2007 18:09
I don't know if your reaction was typical of your nationality; shouldn't you not mind being told that sort of thing? Shouldn't you be used to it, if it's so typical to be treated like that?! :)
About the other stuff, yeah, i do see your point, and I can recall a few baseball-capped-leeeisure-suited-early-
retirement-aged Americans in 'Hey everybody! We're flying to Edinburrow in Scot-land tomorrow!'* type incidents on the train. But older (British) people on trains with mobile phones tend to be at least as bad as the youngsters ('CAN YOU HEAR ME DEAR? I'M ON THE TRAIN!' etc.).
*[I hope that bit didn't sound anti-American; I'm not.] Kate Fox explicitly discusses the mobile phone exception in her book.
The thing that made my reaction American was not that I minded--it would be very British to mind that kind of intrusion on one's privacy. The American bit was that I yelled at the guy!
Mustn't grumble is a BrE mantra--not at all as internali{s/z}ed by Americans.- Anonymous08 February, 2007 23:55
Australians on the whole aren't quite as... boisterous (loud) as Americans and not quite as private (uptight) as the British, but we tend to have these token conversations, probably closer to the British, wherein nothing confrontational is ever mentioned. For instance:
A: How's it goin'?
B: Good mate, good. You?
A: Good, thanks.
Either A or B could potentially be having the single worst day of their life, but the worst you'll ever hear from a stranger (who adheres to these norms) is 'Can't complain'. And quite frankly, this is how it should be. Asking how someone is should not elicit any truthful information about how that person actually is, because to be frank, I couldn't care less (note the negative).
No, that's not strictly true, but I'd really prefer not to go any deeper than this with a stranger. - Anonymous09 February, 2007 06:26
There's an old MGM musical, I think the Ziegfield Follies, in which the "token" conversation you describe is the whole theme. Two men meet each other over and over again for their entire lives and never once say anything meaningful (the "Hi, how are you?/great" "How are your wife and kids?/wonderful" type stuff).
I basically do it all day at my job:
Me: Hi, how are you today?
Customer: Good/fine/fair-to-middlin'/terrible (but always with a smile)/can't complain, and you?
Me: I'm fine
I'd heard that this sort of hollow conversation was more of an American thing that the British frowned upon. Kate Fox, again, covers this kind of conversation in her book, claiming that the English norm is to give an automatic, vague/positive response to 'how are you?', unless one is very intimate with someone else.
The 'how are you' exchange is common across English-speaking cultures. What differs is how formulaic it is and the level of intimacy one must have with another before breaking from the formulae. One thing I always found amusing in South Africa is that I could say Hello to someone and their response might be Fine thanks, and you? The Hello, how are you? or (SAfE) Howzit formulae were so well entrenched that any greeting might be expected to be them.On 'How are you', this short poem is a dead give-away even to the philistine that Ogden Nash was American:
Do not tell your friend
About your indigestion
How are you is a greeting
Not a question.- Anonymous31 October, 2008 07:05

Heh :)
I've caught myself making the response on numerous such occasions. And in testing it out, if someone's reasonably occupied with something, even a fairly nonsensical opener can get the conditioned response. - Robbie29 March, 2009 15:38
No-one's seemed to mention what (to me) is a salient feature of saying "never mind" or "oh, bad luck" to someone under these circumstances.
These are the phrases you say to a child after a minor mishap. You fell off your bike? Never mind, get back on and try again. Spilled your drink? Never mind, we'll soon clean it up.
So the child learns not to make a fuss over trifles, and grows up with "never mind" as the phrase that springs naturally to the lips under such circumstances. And it's reassuring to hear because it's a throwback to childhood, even if only subconsciously.
That's my opinion, anyway. Or is it just me? - Chris18 April, 2009 10:15
"I wonder how an American in New York would react if a complete stranger walked up to them, grabbed their arms and kisses them twice on each cheek?"
I would just like to correct any misunderstandings that may have been imparted on French culture by the above comment. Firstly, my associating with French culture stems from 1949, I'm native bilingual and spent 40 years oscillating between both counties.
Complete strangers in France NEVER exchange air kisses. A handshake, usually rather limp-wristed, is the formal greeting and is used far more often than in the UK.
And finally, it's four kisses in the north and three only in France méridional, and they are exchanged only between family members, close colleagues, and close friends. If anything , it is used slightly, but only slightly, less between men than between women. - Anonymous07 May, 2009 10:54
Well, I'm a naturally shy (British)person, but I don't think I would wince if an American stranger told me their name!
Kate in Derby What I first remember about Never mind is that I could say it to my mother to mean "Ignore what I just said; it was wrong, irrelevant, or not directed to you." If I said Forget it, which to me meant exactly the same thing, my mother went into a tirade: "Don't tell me what to forget!", etc. etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteNowadays I often hear something like "hey, what you gonna do?" as an alternative to "oh well" or "never mind". Either American or Cool Brit.
ReplyDeleteSorry to leave a comment on such an old post, I was lost in link-land and stumbled over it.

Another late comment, but I don't think I'm rehashing anything that's already been said. I'd like to add a note about pronunciation. The distinction between "never mind" as two words and "nevermind" as one is pretty clear in spoken English by the stress. Lacking IPA in this comment box, I'll use ALL CAPS to get the point across:
NEver MIND = "oh that's too bad" (BrE) or "forget I mentioned it" / "it's irrelevant" (AmE)
NEvermind = difference/importance/unmentionable (this is a hard word to define, isn't it?)
The one-word version is found in strongly dialectal expressions like "it makes no nevermind" or "Don't give me no nevermind". I've even heard "she fell and bruised her nevermind"--that from a lady who called me her little kumquat and was generally countrified and adorable. I don't know the history of the one-word nevermind, but to my American ears, it sounds like something a little red-neck, but quaint rather than vulgar. Anonymous
My uncle Lionel used to say That don't make no never mind. He was British — Welsh in fact — born over a century ago. That double negative was deliberately out of place in his otherwise middle-class speech, but it was essential for the rhythm
From what you say it seems likely that he picked up the expression from American fellow musicians some time in the Sixties. However, it was never MIND, not NEVermind.
You may not be familiar with the very English comedian George Formby (died 1961) who sang
Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eightie than eighteen
When I'm cleanin' windows
She pulls her hair all down behind
Then pulls down her never mind
And after that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleanin' windows
See this video clip.- Anonymous12 August, 2012 04:58
Hi David,
Same Anon as above, here. Thanks for the great clip and your notes about pronunciation! I'd never heard of Formby, but I enjoyed watching that video.
I don't know how common this use of the term is in the UK nowadays, but where I'm coming from (east coast, US) I rarely hear it and only from older people. That's a pity; I ought to revive it! After all, in the right context, a prim little "nevermind" is more saucy than whatever we're refusing to say. :D In Ireland in a slightly different context we have "fair enough". It's used to respond to someone expressing an opinion you could agree or disagree with but which you don't particularly want to engage with at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThere is another way to use never mind, as in "I wouldn't give that to a dog, never mind a human " (although "let alone a human" might be more usual). Somehow, I just assumed that it was this sense that was meant (with something missing) in never mind the Buzzcocks.

How to Calculate the Cost of Stump Grinding in New London
Calculating the cost of grinding a stump is fairly easy. A little measuring and some simple calculating and you're done.
- We charge $4.00 per inch and can usually give a discount for more than one stump. (Depends on conditions)
- The way you figure the inches is you measure the diameter (width) of the stump at ground level.
- If the ground is humped up around the stump, extend the diameter to include grinding the hump to grade level. Always measure the widest point of the stump.
- There is an additional charge if you wish for the Grindings to be hauled away by us as well. It's around double the price
- Treemendous Tree Care, will also provide you with soil and seed after the stump is removed for an additional price
- We have a $150.00 minimum charge. Additional charges may apply
If you are still having a difficult time figuring a price on your own we will go to the site and give you an estimate.

Three people are in custody Tuesday in California, accused of commandeering an 82-foot luxury sailboat in Sausalito, partying through the night, and then running the yacht aground in the pounding surf off the beach at Pacifica.
Suspects Leslie Gardner, 63; Dario Mora, 54; and Lisa Modawell, 56, had allegedly stocked the Oyster 82 cutter "Darling" with beer and pizza before heading offshore. The vessel's owner was identified by ABC Channel 7 as Santa Rosa resident John Fruth, the founder of a Concord-area contact lens business.
By Monday morning, Gardner, Mora and Modawell were trying unsuccessfully to get the boat off the beach and finally surrendered to authorities. The trio were taken ashore in a personal watercraft by San Mateo County sheriff's deputies, then handed over to Pacifica police who booked them on suspicion of grand theft and conspiracy.
State Parks lifeguard and park ranger Jeff Wadkins, who boarded the vessel after the suspects were removed, said it looked like "there was quite a bit of alcohol drinking onboard."
He said the inside of the yacht, which Channel 7 said might be worth $2.7 million, was in disarray due to the relentless surf.
By 12:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday, the "Darling" had been recovered and was being towed to Richmond by the owner, a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said.
Coast Guard Ensign Corinne Gaines said the sailboat appeared to be seaworthy, and the potential damage to the vessel was still being assessed.
Earlier, Tim Parker, whose dive service was put in charge of the recovery said there was concern that if the tow wasn't done carefully, the vessel's 10-foot keel could snap off and the boat sink.
