Absolutely correct - silver has the highest electrical conductivity of
all metals - but gold is preferred in some applications where long life,
and not cost, is the more important consideration.

silver wire - which probably cost more than devices we connected.

Nancy, one of our elementary schools is going to year-round school this
year. They are all excited about it. Said they have interviewed many
teachers who started it last year and said that they love it, that the
kids are better...they all love the 2 weeks off throughout the year.  Our
principal would love to go to it...but because of athletics, we would have
to do both at the high school level, regular and year-round.

Subject:      Cellular Phones
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

A question came up in lunch-table conversation while ago that I know
WORDS-Lers can answer -- or at least Anne BWP can.  When somebody calls
long-distance to a cellular phone, I assume that it's the caller who pays
the l-d bill, as usual.  But how does the caller know where the callee is?
If I had a cellular phone, I assume that its phone number would have a
601 prefix, whether I was at home or 2,000 miles away.  If somebody from
Columbus (20 miles from here) called me when I had the phone with me in
New York, would the person be billed for a call to Starkville or a call
to NY?  (The call to NY would probably be cheaper, of course.  In-state
l-d is ridiculous.)  Do cellular phones work in other countries?  If I
took my hypothetical cellular phone to Japan, would a call from Atlanta
be billed as a call to Japan or a call to Mississippi?

Not at all.  Discussion of gender (grammatical) and sex (lexico-semantic)
is a periodically recurring phenomenon here.  I recall having a discussion
of it about a year and a half ago when someone tossed out the proposition
that having gender in language was "stupid" and "sexist."  Price Caldwell
had some enlightening observations to make at that point about the in-
herent asymmetry of much of human language in that one gender often has
to imply its opposite at times (as in "man" used to mean "homo sapiens.")

I'm sure you know this, MKA (will we ever get a name to attach to those
initials?)  but for Russian and other Slavic languages at least, we
*mus* be able to posit more than one case in some places where there
is identity of form.  Most especially with the nominative and accusative
cases.  In Russian, only animate masculine nouns and feminine nouns in -a
have different forms in the nom. and acc. singular, and only animate nouns
(of all three genders) have have the different nom. and acc. plurals.
(but in that case the accusative is the same as the genitive, so there
is *still* identity of form across cases).  Yet no one, not even Roman
Jakobson, would suggest that the accusative doesn't exist.

The same is true of the normalized Latin genitive and dative singular and
nominative plural (1st declension) and the the dative and ablative plurals
of all declensions.  I'm sure we could dig up more, but you get the point.

So I guess my question is, given  that the forms are so often the same,
how do we know that the cases are different in Russian, while we are
inclined to say along with Jakobson that they are not different in
English?

Oh, I'm back, by the way.  Missed you all.

If "guy" and "his" are <inclusive> terms (meaning, I suppose, both
male/female) then this joke does not work.  So, for the sake of the
very very unnyfay joke that I just <cracked>, all computer geeks are
of one sex, the one that can only count to twenty one with *his*
pants off.  A <person> of the other sex would have to be a computer
geekess or geekette, whichever you prefer and if you just *insist*
on being a sexist pig.  I personally think that a *geek* is male.
A *nerd* is also male.  I would never use these terms with reference
to women.  They just don't fit.  So there, all you sweet females
out there.

I have yet to see it.  With a finite number of movies to rent, I'm saving
some good ones for special occassions.  Same with F. Scott Fitzgerald 
stories.
Thank you for the mention of it, though; this Friday may qualify as special
enough.

Depends on how you define "likely roads."  You could always take a scenic
swing south.  Bernardykins and I always welcome visitors.
