[153/366] movement of verbs in English

[cosmolinguist]

The sad news is I had to skip work today to work on the loathsome open-book Historical Syntax exam. The good news though is that my effort is finally paying off. I've basically finished one question, and I've finally found the answer to that one that was stressing me out for three days.

I got to make syntax trees in LaTeX and everything. And I've finished another short-essay question (the bad data one, that's pretty easy). I still have to add some more words to another one (grammaticalization, that won't be too bad) and I have one more impossible one to tackle. It's a really vague question and the information I'm given with it which is presumably meant to help is making me significantly more confused.

So today was hard work and tomorrow will be hard work but hopefully I can do it. I'm feeling resigned rather than hopeless so that's an improvement on this morning.

Glad to hear that you're making progress! Good luck on the final impossible!

Thinkest thou that there have been changes in movement of verbs in English?

Good luck with the exam. It sounds like a real bear.

Hooray for progress, even if it didn't progress much.
