Cornell English department votes to change name to distinguish from 'English as a nationality'

The English department at Cornell University has voted to change its name in an effort to distinguish English the language from English the nationality.

The department at the Ivy League university in New York voted to change its name to “the department of literatures in English” during its first faculty meeting of the fall semester earlier this month, the student-led Cornell Daily Sun reported Wednesday.

Is that something people were confused about?

Probably only people who think literature is a countable noun.

No One Is Shocked 3 Skulls Were Found in Cannibal Corpse Guitarist's Home

Quote:

You don't play in a band called Cannibal Corpse without expecting to raise some eyebrows at the very least. Unfortunately, being part of the band didn't do guitarist Pat O'Brien any favors when his home was investigated following an arrest and police found multiple firearms and human skulls.

Keith Jarrett Confronts a Future Without the Piano

Quote:

This month Mr. Jarrett, 75, broke the silence, plainly stating what happened to him: a stroke in late February 2018, followed by another one that May. It is unlikely he will ever perform in public again.

“I was paralyzed,” he told The New York Times, speaking by phone from his home in northwest New Jersey. “My left side is still partially paralyzed. I’m able to try to walk with a cane, but it took a long time for that, took a year or more. And I’m not getting around this house at all, really.”

That sucks. Maybe he can start making a cappella records of just his grunts without piano accompaniment.
