I always laugh. It really was one of those moments when we aired and it was right after it aired that week, where the phone rang. Caller ID had Lucasfilm on it.
I was on a public radio show in the Bay Area yesterday. A caller phoned in and talked about how his daughter, who had been riven with anxiety, discovered juggling. And once she discovered juggling, she began traveling and juggling for underserved children, and that this healed her.
Your mom, your aunt, your sisters are there. Gentlemen callers can come visit you. It's almost-- and since I'm an academic, I always think of it as a kind of awkward, like, office hours, romantic kind of situation.
So this chap explains that pretty well. - So imagine caller ID, and you see from the call-- it's 10 o'clock Saturday night-- that it's the chairman of the board of your company, or your boss's boss.
I am never going to get another job because I'm going to be blackballed, I am not going to have enough to eat, I'm going to die. And so caller ID to dead in less than a second. And we can prove this.
And there wasn't much talking, either. Each party had a caller who spoke for the group. Players quietly discussed their actions and then told the caller , who called Gygax.
Male Audience Member #1: She. >>Mignon Fogarty: She, you could. One of my listeners called that 'whiplash grammar'. So you could say, 'Tell the next caller that he is the hundredth caller and she wins a car.' So sometimes people will do that. They'll, they'll switch back and forth between 'he' and 'she' to try to be gender-balanced and yet still use the singular pronoun and that is kind of confusing because you start to wonder, 'Are they talking about a different person?' And all
This is really exciting. My name is John Callery. I use he/him pronouns.
It's always murky in terms of who is actually inbound. And then the cold callers -- so the team grew from just me to around 90 people in two, two and a half and I was 24 now, managing 30 of them, making six figures, but also entering what we now have-- the language called the sunken place.
From that? Yeah. They were all like-- you know, it was like James Mason and Al Pacino. And then the callers , those are the people calling in and, like, hey how's it going?
And the phone rings. And it says Harpo Studios on the caller ID. I didn't think anything of it because they had an office in Santa Monica and they would order cupcakes all the time.
But depth is more important. And so then even if the caller is going to look at it, you probably want to manifest it as an exception rather than
This is like '96, '97. So I was a cold caller . Not able to sell stocks, but introducing a senior broker.
it works. But sometimes it's hard. And actually I could not think of a way to make the next sentence plural. Maybe we could brainstorm a little bit here. So 'Tell the next caller that he or she is the hundredth caller and he or she wins a car.' So we have a person of unknown sex and we need to tell someone to tell them something. But 'them' is plural. You can't use 'them', technically, and I could not, I sat and stared at the screen for, I don't know, five, ten minutes trying to think of a way to make this, to fix this sentence
durai a brash kuwa sex advised columnist who had her own satellite television talk show the biography of love where callers from around the hour World asked her questions often dressed in tight if discreet red leather her head swathed in
And you're in a different stage of your artistic expression. Longtime listener, first-time caller .
they have this hierarchy. So I mean I never have like a caller mic or lights, except that bar scene I had to put it up.
Each party had a caller who spoke for the group. Players quietly discussed their actions and then told the caller , who called Gygax. If anyone talked too much, they risked missing an important announcement from behind the filing cabinet.
you get rid of the second awkward 'he or she' so that would be better too. Yeah. Male Audience Member #4: >>Mignon Fogarty: 'Tell the next caller that the caller is the hundredth caller .' 'Tell the, tell the next person' >>Male Audience Member #4: Mignon Fogarty: 'that ñ' Yeah. I mean I cannot think of another way to do this without
They externalized the cost of phone answering to the callers , which created a kind of arms race then.
For most of us, a random caller telling you they're an FBI agent is probably a scam.

From Pete's point of view, caller ID is the best invention ever, OK?
At this time, operators are still helping callers .
But depth is more important. Well, if you fundamentally can't carry out your contract with your caller and if you can't implement your interface, then sort of
But depth is more important. you have to. That's information that you do have to reflect that back to the caller .
About nine months later, I saw his name on the caller ID, and I was excited.
And we had several people calling in, but the first caller was Tina Sinatra, Frank's daughter, which was fun.
It was like 6:30 at night on a weekday, and up on my caller ID, it was Elon Musk.
they have this hierarchy. one thing that I don't like is putting so many lights on and putting like a caller mic.
Dick Cheney was nominally vice president, but in reality he was the shot caller .
Pete actually admitted to me that he was in Afghanistan once on a satellite phone and it didn't have caller ID.
Around this time, we had created what we call our Caller -Outer of the Month award.
Mignon Fogarty: 'They'. You could. Embrace the plural be on the leading edge. I mean that's probably what I would do. Yeah? >>Male Audience Member #3: Mignon Fogarty: You could definitely drop the second 'he' or 'she'. 'Tell the next caller that he or she wins , is the hundredth caller and wins a car.' So it's not so bad because you get rid of the second awkward 'he or she' so that would be better too. Yeah.

So she's pushing the bag, speaking on the phone, her lunge in her hand, when the caller asked for some piece of information, and she
So usually it's really easy to rewrite, to fix this problem. You could say, 'It's an essential book for all students'. Make your noun plural. 'Regardless of their age', then it works. But sometimes it's hard. And actually I could not think of a way to make the next sentence plural. Maybe we could brainstorm a little bit here. So 'Tell the next caller that he or she is the hundredth caller and he or she wins a car.' So we have a person of unknown sex and we need to tell someone to tell them something. But 'them' is plural.
and I couldn't. Sometimes, sometimes it's hard. Does anyone here, does something jump to mind? Does anyone see how to make it plural or fix it? Male Audience Member #1: She. >>Mignon Fogarty: She, you could. One of my listeners called that 'whiplash grammar'. So you could say, 'Tell the next caller that he is the hundredth caller and she wins a car.' So sometimes people will do that. They'll, they'll switch back and forth between 'he' and 'she' to try
