“Ask him to point to where he thinks the monkey is going to go.”
“They don’t point,” Everett said. Nor, he added, do they have words for right and left. Instead, they give directions in absolute terms, telling others to head “upriver” or “downriver,” or “to the forest” or “away from the forest.” Everett told the man to say whether the monkey was going upriver or downriver. The man said something in reply.

I am paid by the Wikimedia Foundation to improve MediaWiki’s support for different languages. In that capacity, my username is Aaharoni-WMF. As a volunteer, I am also a member of Wikimedia Israel and of the Language committee.

And maybe this:
I added these things to Wikipedia articles, but people removed them without a good reason. I have good reasons to think they are correct and interesting, but I have better things to do than to argue about it. Very few people will read them here, but it's better to have them written somewhere rather than nowhere.
Some language study programs use the IPA to teach pronunciation. For example, in Russia (and earlier in the Soviet Union), textbooks for children[IPA-Russia 1] and adults[IPA-Russia 2] for studying English and French consistently use the IPA.
^For example, the English school textbooks by I. N. Vereshagina, K. A. Bondarenko and T. A. Pritykina.
^For example, "Le Français à la portée de tous" by K. K. Parchevsky and E. B. Roisenblit (1995) and "English Through Eye and Ear" by L.V. Bankevich (1975).

In sociology, Habitus comprises socially ingrained habits, skills and dispositions. It is the way that individuals perceive the social world around them and react to it. These dispositions are usually shared by people with similar backgrounds (such as social class, religion, nationality, ethnicity, education and profession). The habitus is acquired through imitation (mimesis) and is the reality in which individuals are socialized, which includes their individual experience and opportunities. Thus, the habitus represents the way group culture and personal history shape the body and the mind; as a result, it shapes present social actions of an individual. For example, this is the way in which the most important skills that are supposed to be necessary for writing in Wikipedia are reading and comprehending relevant reliable sources about a topic and writing about it clearly based on these sources, but the most important skills that are actually necessary for writing in Wikipedia are correctly using template parameters and citing the numbers of speedy deletion criteria.
