DESCRIPTORS *English; Gr&mmar; Higher Education; *Language Attitudes; *Language Usage; *Lexicology; Linguistics; *Semantics; *Vocabulary IDENTIFIERS Words ABSTRACT This book contains 25 essays about English words, and how they are defined, valued, and discussed. The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

Financial summary . 35 For most of the year, the Everett Fire Department was charged with not only carrying out their primary mission of providing emergency response, but also leading our community through a global pandemic. Before the first known U.S. case of COVID-19 was even reported in our community, our teams were actively monitoring the disease’s spread globally and preparing for the worst-case scenario. This advance planning enabled us to rapidly react here in our community and set systems and procedures in place to protect our workers, residents and businesses. Chief DeMarco and his team provided me with direct advice, guidance and recommendations on how to navigate the ever-evolving circumstances this pandemic has brought to our city, and I am so grateful for their counsel and support during one of the most difficult chapters in our lifetime. I am further grateful that they’ve accomplished this while also fighting fires (including the July waterfront fire), saving property and lives, and providing care and service to our community. My whole- hearted thanks go out to every member of our Everett Fire team for their leadership and compassion, and being here for our community when we’ve needed them most.

  • Livability Profile
    Metro Everett Center Plan Livability Profile This is one of several profiles of Metro Everett, an area that spans from I-5 on the east to Port Gardner Bay on the west, and roughly 24th St in the north to 36th St in the south. This area includes the central business district and Everett Station, as well as surrounding residential neighborhoods. Metro Everett is the heart of the community and most visible indicator of community pride and its economic and social health. Metro Everett has both assets and challenges in the City’s effort to retain and attract residents, businesses and industries, retirees, tourists, and others to live, work and visit. For many people, Metro Everett represents the community's heritage, growth trends and quality of life that will establish Everett’s image in the new millennium It is anticipated that the Metro Everett area will accommodate an increasing percentage of new growth in people and jobs over the next twenty years. This increase helps support the public’s investment in public facilities and services, such as light rail and rapid bus service, as well as minimizing our impact on the environment and nearby single family residential communities. This profile focuses on who lives in “Metro Everett.” For more information and to stay involved, please go to www.everettwa.gov/metro and make sure to subscribe to Metro Everett’s News Flash service. WHO LIVES HERE? Most major urban centers attract a slightly greater population than the surrounding community. Some cities see their urban center decaying, with significantly higher rates of poverty than other parts of the community.
