Typological stuff on causatives? :
A thing that's been on my backburner for like 1½ years now¹ is a blog article on my conlang's causatives. For this, I already gathered some literature:

Pthag told us one of the stories of his people on IRC. I thought it would make a good translation challenge.
let me tell you a story
i uploaded quirk to my kindle
and opened it
full of joy allah had put in my heart
but then i saw a shaitan had come
and turned the pagination away from how the prophet isa (pbuh)
meaning the pages were tiny
i wept that day
why o lord have you made these pages so small
what sin have i committed

Radius: you see
there are many options but not sending in orders and not saying anything at all about this is p much the worst one
if by the deadline there had been something like "hey h13 I'm not sure whether or not to send in orders, what with yaali and everything" in my inbox I would have replied "yes send in orders please I'll wait with the update until they're here and we can figure out what to do about Germany afterwards" and there would have been no problem whatsoever...

Quality control in biology has been a hot topic for the last couple of years, largely in the wake of several prominent fraud cases (e.g. human cloning), rising proficiency in Photoshop (e.g. doctored gel images), and [http://www.nature.com/news/scientific-method-statistical-errors-1.14700|shots fired regarding the use and abuse of the almighty p-value].

I heard ([b][i]DANGER DANGER: ANECDOTE APPROACHING!!![/b][/i]) a while back that sort of thing with regards to unusual claims made in published papers (I want to say they focused mostly on biology, could be wrong tho) which other researchers failed to reproduce. I think the story was about scientific journals' peer review protocols being called into question. As I think about it more I'm all but certain I got the link in #isharia.
