Myth: "If everyone speaks #English anyway, what’s the point of making an effort? In the 21st century, En is not enough. *Speaking only EN is as much of a disadvantage as speaking no EN.* Only 6% of the world’s population are native EN speakers & 75% speak no English at all". @uofgculture.bsky.social

A few potential words of the day:
Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).
Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.
Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.
Merry Christmas.
