Ten years ago, on this date and at this hour and minute, I wrote the very first post for "Ace Linguist." I was graduating college, planning to go to grad school, and thinking my resume really needed spiffing up. It was with this intention that I created 'Ace Linguist', with the name as an analogy to the game series 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney'. It would serve as a place to store my observations on linguistics and any articles I wanted to write. The early posts are rough, the formatting haphazard, the point not always clear.
I didn't expect to be updating this for ten years, or that I would write multiple articles that would end up cited on Reddit, news websites, and even academic articles. I've had the privilege of being able to talk to people more knowledgeable than I about linguistics here. I've learned many new things and expanded my skills. I'm very proud of many of the posts I've made here.
I want to thank everyone who has been with me through the Ace Linguist journey. When I started, I had much more spare time than I do now. This blog has survived multiple job and home changes. I plan to continue updating this blog for as long as I have something to say, so I hope you will all stay tuned. :)
