What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2003
A collaborative blog about language, kept by the University of Pennsylvania phonetician Mark Liberman.
Posts look at how language is used in the media and popular culture, often using Google results as a corpus. Liberman and Geoffrey Pullum published a book of posts, Far from the Madding Gerund, in 2006.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2003 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2003, then plays a short scene. Want Language Log in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
