What's AAAL?

My name is Gordon and I haven't had a drink in 4 years and 8 months.

Dear Gordon,
That's just AA, Gordon. AAAL is the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Their meetings begin:

Hi, my name is ______ and I'm an Applied Linguist.

http://www.aaal.org/

Regards,
John

You shouldn't apologize Denise, I hijacked it.

Now I think I'll go out and commit sepuku with my new swords I got in Himeji last week.

So what makes one an applied linguist, someone who can talk?
There I've gone and hijacked it again.

And, even more scary, what would make one a pure one?

Huh?!?!?

Can somebody please remind me of what this thread is supposed to be about? (Egads!!! A question full of prepositional nightmares!)

The original post was edited. I fear I hurt his/her feelings. Maybe truth isn't the only thing that hurts.
It was something about an AAAL conference.
