We don't usually publish announcements, unless there is a special reason, like the fact that you seem to be the organizer

Argh, an English language pedant writes.
``of [...] ilk'' (as in ``of that ilk'') has one meaning only: denotation, in a formal title, of a place name equal to the family name, as in ``Sir Ian Moncrieffe of that ilk'' (i.e., Sir Ian Moncrieffe of Moncrieffe'').
You mean ``of a similar *kind*''.
Please, no self-justification about the English language `evolving'.

<insert justification about the English language evolving>
The above is neither self-justification nor about the English language `evolving'. Rather, it is justification from an onlooker about the English language evolving.

Michael, what made you think that was English? The author is, after all, Welsh. :-)

I looked up ilk at Merriam-Webster
http://www.m-w.com/
before I used it and they agree with me, so :-P you pedant!

M-W and the OED agree that "pedant" means a male schoolteacher. I am not a male schoolteacher, only a graduate student.

Ken,
I don't want to be pedantic but M-W lists the "male schoolteacher" meaning as obsolete. Regardless, I would have thought as a graduate student you may do some teaching and evidence suggests you are male.
