Doolittle ( de Dolietta ) is a Norman name – from Avranches that entered England in 1066. My mother’s people (Sirois, Theriault, Oulette) are French, all from Normandy and Brittany, and my grandparents spoke French at home.
Yes I have time to waste on Twitter et al. It’s part of my job. I didn’t participate in social media until it was part of my job. Social media has lowered the cost of social science and behavioral research to near zero for anyone relying on computational linguistics.
