Love how passionately you talk about language

Agreed.

Language is wonderful

 

[Secretintoelderly]

Agreed.

Language is wonderful

Yes, and everything that is involved. The talking, reading, listening. Communicating with locals in a language you're not really familiar with.

Never shush.

Communicating with locals in a language you're not really familiar with.

And extending generosity in those moments

I lived in Japan as a teenager and had to learn the language by assimilation. I started teaching in elementary schools and found that I could communicate with the kids in Japanese easier than I could communicate with my peers and even adults. I think that's because there was a lot more flexibility in the younger kid's comprehension. Spending time with them have me both the core basic structure of the language and the confidence to learn more.

Those experiences definitely shaped me.

I have my books just piled up here

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I've posted my library here before.
I can't remember which one is y'all was in awe that it was organized by subject. To which I still can't understand how you'd do it any other way...?

But yeah, I got some good books.
And apparently an organization system

I am so glad I listened to that again because the first pass through I heard "all day I dream about stacks", which yeah- can be construed as dirty.
But then I listened a second time.

You dirty bird.

Is that Alfredo pasta sauce next to it!?

Powdered, but yes.

*shakes head sadly*

It's asking too much of the nation that pronounces 'buoy' as 'booey'.

Wait…how do you pronounce buoy? (Spelled out phonetically, please!)

I think we spell it "line"

I use “queue” over “watchlist” and to describe the FFXIV duty matchmaking system’s waiting period all the time

If you are spelling 'queue' 'line' things are worse than I feared.

I mean, you can call the thing a different word. To be contrary. Like you like to be.....

'Muricans.

We do what we want

 

[Wand3rlust]

Buoy - as in buoyant.

Boy. By any other sound ..

Nick Helm serenading Susie is probably the greatest 8 out of 10 cats moment ever!

Just perfect!

Wait til we get into gaol vs. jail

And aeroplanes....

I've never seen a problem with spelling it "aeroplanes" because to me, that just sounds like someone from the southeast...

"You got yourself one of those fancy air o planes I see..." I have that Han Solo/Chewbacca skill thing... I can easily understand southern speak, I just don't speak it back.

Now this Red Hot Chili Peppers song is playing in my head:

This had me laughing so hard, I was having trouble breathing.
I literally have tears running down my face.

And I am not even sure why it was so funny to me… but I am chuffed as nuts to have read it. Fuck yeah!!
