and then chinese is like oh im sorry you forgot a character? youre illiterate. you mispronounce a word? your mother is now a horse

☾ - Trying again, this time, I'm going all in.
It was hard to struggle with consistency. Battling thousands of demons every single day just to take another step towards a brighter future.
I let myself down time and time again. There will be no more of that.
I will no longer be a slave of the phrase "running out of time." I will no longer let my fate be decided by others. I will no longer allow anyone to take control of me.
My dreams are not unrealistic and my curiosity will not be limited. I will not go into these battles unprepared ever again. I will not be stopped.

Would any native French speakers be willing to participate in my study for my thesis ? It's a short online questionnaire asking you to rate sentences from 1 (unacceptable) to 10 (very acceptable) that shouldn't take more than 15 minutes ! Hit me up if you'd be willing, and reblog for larger sample size please :))

This is a short video but I think it gets across stuff that can be hard to explain to budding linguistics, conlangers, and worldbuilders. Gotta love Tom Scott.

People always make fun of french by adding "le" in front of everything but have you considered adding silent letters to literally every word?
Instead of just "le blorbo", it should be "le blaurebeaud" or even blorpbeaud" if you're feeling really crazy (the p is obviously silent like in jean-baptiste)

Wondering what good it would serve me to go to university for Linguistics as a major outside of serving my obsession with learning new languages

What are some untranslatable or confusing slang words or sentences that would make no sense without explanation? I’ll go first!
Using “ass” as a suffix — mostly used to indicate a sense of “a lot” or “entirely.” Also used to increase the intensity of the word. Can be used to indicate anger or to be funny.
“Bless your heart.” — Southern United States — Passive aggressive “F**k you.”

Begging amd pleading for amateur linguists to talk about Chinese linguistics without being super fucking orientalist about it
Actually, fuck it, professional linguists too, you also get really weird and othering about it
