NTE Chats
In October 2021, the NTE launched NTE Chats, a series of informal exchanges on all things linguistic.
During the 45-minute videoconferences, held between 12:15 and 1 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month, participants discuss everything from education-related terms and challenging idioms to shifting usage and other wordsmithing issues suggested by participants. Though generally for members only, the chats are occasionally open to non-members, for a nominal fee. Check out our calendar to register for our next public NTE Chat!
A recording or summary of every NTE Chat will be made available a few days after the event. Non-members will receive these documents by email.
