Not really tech related, but the most memorable for me is "Tense Present"[1] by David Foster Wallace in the April 2001 issue of Harper's Magazine. It's a beautiful exploration of language and dialect. It taught me at a young age to appreciate the way others speak and the socioeconomic implications of the way we listen to others. I'm still a SNOOT at heart, but I learned to temper it thanks to this piece and years of study in linguistics. [1]: https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/HarpersMagazine-2001-... |
