Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..

![Occasionally language is unintentionally macaronic. One particularly famed piece of schoolyard Greek in France is Xenophon's line "they did not take the city; but in fact they had no hope of taking it" (οὐκ ἔλαβον πόλιν· άλλα γὰρ ἐλπὶς ἔφη κακά, ouk élabon pólin; álla gàr elpìs éphē kaká). Read in the French manner, this becomes Où qu'est la bonne Pauline? A la gare. Elle pisse et fait caca. ('Where is Pauline the maid? At the [railway] station. She's pissing and taking a shit.')[12][13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vmecllmlgwtjwlbds7cz6z3/bafkreiga2cdigsrf37xq6vvtlq6dch3ftdin7xwujoemechbipkabf5qva)

9. Britten wrote 'A Hymn To The Virgin' on his sickbed when he was just 16, the precocious little snit. It's loads of things I love in a carol: macaronic (multilingual), slightly woozy sounding with a tinge of sadness. Sung here by Voces 8, who seem to have had an argument.
