I think I had one of my favorite answers in a while recently, about the impossible dream of language purity (slightly more context here, it started as a discussion of the Turkish Language reform). Mentions of not only Turkish, Estonian, Hungarian, and Hebrew, not only the language academies of France, Iceland, and Turkey, but also failed attempts to purify English, which fewer people know about. This is definitely my longest answer in months, and I think about three people saw it (I tried to submit it to depth hub but they don't do self-submissions).

Fashion is all too often marginalized as a "trivial" field of history. So I think /u/colevintage's answer about the all-female dressmaker guilds in the 17-18th centuries is awesome for taking a core question about the popularity of a specific type of garment and showing its economic, social, and broader cultural importance.

OK, this was quite the week, long list to go through today!

• /u/borimi on "How did the United States react to the Revolutions of 1848?"

• /u/szhamilton on "I recently read that a number of black communities in America looked unfavorably upon certain aspects of school desegregation, particularly forced busing. Could someone give me a historical synopsis of black opposition to school desegregation from the 1960s through the 1980s?"

• /u/odjebibre on "Did Tito actually manage to suppress ethnic rivalry and replace it with "Yugoslav nationalism", or is the underlying presence only recognised post-1990 in the Yugoslav Wars?"

/u/ussbaney gave a really good description of how different translations of the same document can be divergent
