   Anyone know how to adjust this inserted vid code so it doesn’t start playing as soon as the page is loaded?

     For videos hosted at brightcove.com, include the setting

     

     inside the tags. Does that make sense?

       I mean

       [param name="automaticAdvance" value="false" /]

       inside the

       [object][/object]

       tags, but using angle brackets (<>), not square brackets. ([])

       inside the

       And feel free to delete my other poorly formatted comments on this (or any other) topic.

   Robin,

   Look for this toward the beginning of the code:

   add ‘&autoStart=0′ at the end so it becomes:

   Also your link “(I posted on Tyler and Ford here.) ” is not working.

   looks like it trashed the code I pasted.

   Change the url

   to

   http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&autoStart=0

   toward the beginning of the code…

   It’s “Martin Ford and ME” instead of “I”.

     Florian, constructions of the form “Martin and I” are a signalling device; albeit correct, “Martin and me” signals lack of education.

     I’m interested in the signalling role of correcting grammar. It is rarely done in a neutral way (“by the way, just to note, you made a mistake”) but either to assert greater linguistic ability or to punish the individual for not following The Rules. It is almost never done to clear up ambiguity in the sentence.

     Now what am I trying to do with this post…?

   mobile and Robot, I tried both or your suggestions; neither work.

   I used to think you look like Red Foreman from That 70s Show, now I think you look like Clive Anderson.

   The “Income inequality in the United States” article shows income inequality consistently rising over time. Global measures seem a little more controversial.
