Usage in Conlanging
The text of the Tower of Babel is commonly used today by people who devise constructed languages (conlangs) as an example translated text. It is used because of its dealing with the creation of many languages from one, and because it serves as a useful comparison between different conlangs due to its nice array of sentence structure, verbs, nouns, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
