“Modern linguistics shares the delusion- the accurate term, I believe - that modern ‘behavioral sciences’ have in some essential respect achieved a transition from ‘speculation’ to ‘science’ …. Obviously any rational person will favour rigorous analysis and careful experiment; but to a considerable degree, I feel, the ‘behavioral sciences’ are merely mimicking the surface features of the natural sciences; much of their scientific character has been achieved by a restriction of subject matter and a concentration on rather peripheral issues.” — Noam Chomsky, Language and Mind, 1968.

The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 2, 1953, more than a year after she actually took the throne as Queen of United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ceylon as well as Head of the Commonwealth and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
The ceremony, which was held at Westminster Abbey, took a total of 16 months to prepare for and was the first major international event to be televised. 8,000 guests were invited to the ceremony and 20 million viewers watched the event at home.

Like when you first meet me, our conversation is going to be awkward no matter what because I wouldn’t have any idea what to talk about. It’s also worse when you’re cute. But if you wait a little I’ll get comfortable talking with you. Then I’ll start talking so much that it’ll annoy you. I really do talk a lot.
