Quotes by Paul Anthony Jones (?)

“The surname Kennedy means ‘ugly-head’. [He topped a 2009 poll to be named the best-looking President in US history, but JFK’s surname is actually the Old Irish epithet ceannéidigh, derived from ceann, meaning ‘head’, and éidigh, meaning ‘ugly’.]”
― Paul Anthony Jones, Word Drops: A Sprinkling of Linguistic Curiosities

“Xenoglossophobia, or foreign-language anxiety, is a growing field of psychological study that routinely finds factors such as test apprehension, nervousness in a classroom setting and a fear of making mistakes can have hugely detrimental effects on the learning experiences. By adapting teaching methods accordingly, new languages could be opened up to anyone, regardless of any innate skill.”
― Paul Anthony Jones, Why Is This a Question?: Everything About the Origins and Oddities of Language You Never Thought to Ask
