New acronyms infiltrate English writing and speech

According to a recent report in The Associated Press (AP), the profusion of new acronyms in writing and speech is of great interest to linguists. Speaking to the AP, professor Scott Kiesling remarked that these shorthand phrases can express a different thought from the words that compose them.

Recently, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper used one such acronym on his show. He reported on a recent incident in which Southern rapper B.O.B. used the public announcement system on a Delta flight to Los Angeles to perform, impromptu, for passengers, according to CNN.com.

Adding the rapper to the show's "RidicuList," Cooper remarked, "now, I'm no expert on B.O.B.'s oeuvre, and I have nothing against him personally. I'm sure he's very talented." However, he noted that the musician's choice of performance space was irresponsible. Cooper concluded, "WTF, B.O.B.," according to the website.

The anchor cleverly sidestepped being overtly offensive and injected humor into his broadcast by using an electronic acronym.

Innovation in language, an ever-evolving form, is common. As new expressions enter written and spoken English, spelling and grammar checks may be even more essential for professionals reviewing their communications.

Re: Feature Suggestion: Google Docs Backup

. I'm going to buy 1TB of space on Google Docs, and it would be perfect if I could backup with SyncBack rather than zipping files and doing bulk uploads.

Joel Tenenbaum owes the RIAA $675,000—again

Joel Tenenbaum, the Boston University student whose file-sharing proclivities got him sued by the major music labels, owes them $675,000. Again.

Tenenbaum's trial, the second such file-sharing trial in the country, ended with a $675,000 jury verdict against him. Judge Nancy Gertner cut the award to $67,500, following the same path blazed by the first judge to hear such a case, but with one crucial difference: rather than rely on "remittitur," in which a judge can simply lower the monetary amount of a jury award, Gertner went right to the Constitution. The award was so astronomical, she said, that it violated the US Constitution and had to be reduced. ($67,500 was as high as Judge Gertner said was permissible.)

The recording industry appealed this decision; early Friday evening, they won a round. The First Circuit Court of Appeals agreed (PDF) that Judge Gertner had jumped to the Constitutional question too quickly. Though the appellate judges applauded her handling of the trial, they wrote that Gertner "should first have considered the non-constitutional issue of remittitur, which may have obviated any constitutional due process issue and attendant issues. Had the court ordered remittitur of a particular amount, Sony would have then had a choice. It could have accepted the reduced award. Or, it could have rejected the remittitur, in which case a new trial would have ensued."

Only if remittitur failed to resolve the case would Gertner be justified in moving on to the larger issue of unconstitutionality.

Remittitur did fail the first file-sharing trial target, Jammie Thomas-Rasset in Minnesota. After three full trials and two judicial overrides, Judge Michael Davis finally reached the constitutional question and declared the award against Thomas-Rasset unacceptable. That decision has now been appealed.

We might well see the same thing with the Tenenbaum lawsuit, but for now, the original $675,000 judgment has been reinstated.

The Appeals Court hinted that, though its decision was procedurally proper, it didn't support such harsh penalties against Tenenbaum. "We comment that this case raises concerns about application of the Copyright Act which Congress may wish to examine," wrote the judges.
