A student who kept missing all those Friday classes is answering the question “What is linguicide?”
It’s a murder of linguists. Franco hated all linguists and wanted to kill them off because they were part of the terrorist organization ETA. They also support the welfare state and Franco doesn’t like that.
In the section where students didn’t miss lectures, most people got an A for this mini-quiz, though.

“Linguist” kinda sorta sounds like “linkage”, which is my total pathetic excuse for submitting these two:
Will these bastards ever strop trying to revoke our freedoms?
These murdering bastards kill more people than all the abortionists, home-birth-practitioners and drunk drivers put together.

I posted a comment but it disappeared. Not even “awaiting moderation”. In spam filter perhaps?

At least these are not the cunning linguists, as the old joke goes.

If I had known the joke, I would have totally named the post after it. 🙂

This particular concept of linguicide reminds me of the Bush era during which it seemed as if almost every soldier with language skills turned out to be gay and was drummed out of the service under DADT, and of course every in-country local recruited as an interpreter faced intense persecution and was filing for refugee status.
