Yessss! Another takedown by an actual linguist!

It addresses the problem well in the opening section. The gist of it is that Cheshire's paper cannot be corrected easily because it is wrong to an absurd degree. You can't correct something that doesn't make sense and punches various branches of science in the face at every other sentence.

I'm considering to reply to the editor's mail to ask why the thing is still online. Sorry Rene, I don't like car wrecks...

Oh wow! Just read Keidan's response to G. Cheshire's paper...

When I blogged about Cheshire's paper, I tried to keep my focus on analyzing the statements themselves rather than the person (and will continue to do so), but Keidan doesn't mince words, he comes right out and says,

"Dr Cheshire appears unfit to decipher anything, and to do philological research in general. His views on languages and linguistics are those of a teenager who just found out that the secret alphabets are so fun."


But he does also give some very targeted critical statements.

Be very interesting to read. I have strong opinions on a few glyphs.

If you click on the Twitter link, and then click on the picture, you get a larger copy of the picture.
If you then click on the three dots in the upper right corner, you get the option to see the tweet, i.e. this is the set of observations by Lisa Fagin Davis that she was mentioning.

Thanks Rene.

I thought that it would be something more substantial. I'm not a user of that website so I didn't know such a thing was a normal way to publish.

She says she's going to publish more about the linguistic variety of the scribes, which I think will be very interesting.
