Looking for a particular Suzette Haden Elgin Livejournal post

September 6, 2024 3:42 PM

I recall reading a post on Suzette Haden Elgin’s Livejournal (ozarque) about different ways to ask a neighbour to come get their cows and the hidden meanings behind them, and cultural differences around how one might ask and how one might respond. I can’t seem to find it via any search, though. Does anyone remember it?
