		English adopted its alphabet, except for the letters j, u, and w, from the one used by the Romans to represent the sounds of Latin, and the fit was not an exact one.
		English is a Germanic language that has borrowed many words from French, Dutch, and other languages, and the result is a phonological mishmash in which certain letters are pronounced differently depending on the origin of the words they appear in.
		Nonetheless, English sound and spelling were not all that far apart until the advent of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries, which helped to freeze English spelling while its pronunciation underwent dramatic changes, principally in the system of long vowels, which is known as the Great Vowel Shift.

		A penetrating inquiry into the origin and destiny of our language discloses that Y- is an inflective prefix acting to intensify the meaning of the word to which it is attached, as in the case of YCLAD (clothed) or YCLEPT (named).

	Introduction to Finnish
		Thus, Finnish is a synthetic language: it uses suffixes to express grammatical relations and also to derive new words.
		Originally the system was simply agglutinative: suffixes were “glued” to words by simple concatenation.
		You have probably now realized why Finnish words are rather long in the average: root words are long due to the conservativeness, suffixes and composition are used to derive new words, and suffixes are used for flexion.

		If this 'list' is to be a mere Bulletin Board for job, conference and new book announcements and not a list for the discussion of women's studies then I think we all need to be made aware of that in very explicit terms.
		This list could serve a very useful function in providing a 'safe' place where women's studies could be discussed without the discussants being subjected to 'locker-room' vulgarities and violence.
		I'm posting this to the list, instead of responding solely to Al Cardinale because I believe the problem of language and accessibility is a serious one in feminist theory and activism and I want others who teach feminist theory to engage Ebert's work and this issue.
