I don’t have time to write a real post today, so —

Here, have an interesting Twitter thread about the English Language:


So there's a particular quirk of English grammar that I've always found quite endearing: the exocentric verb-noun compound agent noun.

It appears in a definite, remarkably narrow period – not more than 150, 200 years – before dying out, leaving loads of legacy words in its wake.
