Posts About Language Compilation

17:23 “ Internet accents” is anyone else highly offended that out of all the ones mentioned they forgot the random keyboard smashing?!?!? Like dfgjjkhkjgdtjrcg how did everyone forget this???

[@Arkylie]

I'm annoyed that I can't keyboard smash because I use Dvorak drivers and having a keyboard smash be all vowels and the top five consonants just doesn't convey anything like the same feel 😖

Ya'll don't know the pain of learning _each individual_ web pages' way of formatting so you can figure out how to italicize for emphasis, and bold and italics *_AS SHOUTING AS LOUD AS FUCKING POSSIBLE WITH GREAT RAGE_*

[@nixel1324]

Something I've noticed: for some reason, when people dnfsjlfhsdk, they almost always start with a 'd'.

[@e.t.6424]

Studying languages, the evolution of language, language barriers, and etymology is by far one of my favorite things to do because in the end, language is always inevitably really weird in certain aspects to anyone who isn’t a native speaker, and these Tumblr posts display that in marvelous fashion.

My first encounter with the word "chuffed" was a picture of Tinkerbell smoking a fat blunt, so I just assumed it meant high

I am glad you recognized that science is it’s own language separate from English.

[@darkstarr984]

It is! You learn so much specialized vocabulary in basic science courses that it’s equivalent to learning a new language! The only thing that makes it easier is the fact you can use the grammar of the language the class is in…

[@CassArttStudio]

ive seen the post at 14:31 every few years and the "'bitch' translates directly" line is still my favorite thing

[@GhostCabinet]

All the ones about ancient language are the functional equivalent of walking into a cafe and ordering in shakespearian english

[@MonikaCisek]

Judging by the time periods between the modern languages and their ancient equivalents mentioned in these posts, it's more like modern English and Old English (think the English used between the 5th and the 11th century) 😁 but yeah, it still checks out.

[@gvcvbbhvbbccxcvn]

[@pageturner2958]

12:40 reminds me of how the phrase "I could care less" makes no sense in the context of not caring

[@minecrafting_il]

Because it's supposed to be "I *couldn't* care less" and people keep fucking misusing it Not sarcastically They are just stupid And I just realized I'm doing this thing for spacing omg internet accent

6:12 this reminds me of the story of my uncle in France. He got sick and had diarrhea, so he went to a little pharmacy, but he doesn’t speak French, and the clerk doesn’t speak English. So it took my uncle a bit to figure out what he cold do and came up with an idea. He asks the guy “Do you know ‘merde’?” The guy, slightly offended. “Oui.” And my uncle starts nodding furiously and making a pulling/flowing/continuing motion with his hand. “Merde!” The the guy goes “OHHH!” And gets my uncle some anti diarrhea medicine. For those who don’t know, Merde is the French word for “Shit”

In Korean, rice is also very similar to food. You never know,but you do at the same time because we have rice for most occasions.

[@Arkylie]

This is why I was disappointed when the Japanese translation of the Bible had "give us this day our daily bread" instead of "give us this day our daily rice." Because conceptually, rice would be the correct term -- bread is not the staple item, the most basic sort of sustenance, in Japan the way it is in some other countries. God's daily provision across much clearer when it's a food nearly everyone eats nearly every day.

[@NinjaNanya]

Guys help, I found this interesting Tumblr reader on KZbin and they keeps reading stories that interest me. Young me was like "Tumblr is kinda cringe" old me is like "Tumblr is kinda cringe and that's it's charm" and I almost want to go there to read more. Major problem. (In all seriousness though Thank you for your uploads)

[@barteepage4109]

"John and his license expired last week." Is a line thay goes hard af.

[@Pepagg8]

Hello, as a Czech i can confidently say the word "defenestration" is entirely our fault. There were 3 historically important occasions where we defenestrated someone, so we made a word for it. No need to thank us. Thank the catholics (they were the ones getting defenestrated each time)

[@dragong33k]

if the catholics are involved, shouldn't we thank god?

[@DarthVader1321]

12:33 So what you're saying is, the word "literally" is currently in the process of becoming a contronym. 12:42 Speaking of the devil.

Am I the only one clicking because they think tumblr is talking about compiling programming languages ?

[@taylor_green_9]

Linguistics is fun! I've learned some strange things about how other people describe the world. Having no numbers beyond 1 and sorta-2. Having no colours other than light and dark. Evidentiality, which is when you have to say how much evidence you have for any statements you make. These are the things that have stuck with me the most, because of how restrictive they are. How is "black, white, brown (earth-coloured), and every colour of the rainbow" not the absolute minimum??? How do you refuse to count things (children, siblings, livestock, food items, attackers, predators, prey, building materials)??? Evidentiality at least doesn't stop me from saying stuff... as long as I can remember how I acquired the information; hopefully, growing up with it trains one's brain to remember it, because I don't know if I can do that

[@comradewindowsill4253]

ok so why does english not have a dual form? a fucking lot of things come in twos. especially if they're fucking for that matter... would also resolve the stupidity of using a plural form to describe a singular object like a pair of pants. or worse, a pair of scissors.

[@sabliath9148]

Other good obscure words: Bedswerver: an unfaithful spouse. Conky: Having a big nose. Bromidrosiphobia: a hallucinatory fear of body odor.

Recently I have found out that daimons originally were guiding/guardian spirits in Ancient Greek mythology. They then passed onto Rome, Jewish religion and christianity, where the concept got demonized completely. So, everyone has their daimons.

"Rhoticism" is actually used in linguistics to refer to other sounds turning into R, or, in reference to English, to a dialect keeping its syllable-final R's (British dialects are non-rhotic, American dialects are rhotic)

[@joeytabora1052]

The thing of capitalizing certain words because they feel Important is actually fairly old, even if not common or standard, or used sparingly (imo it's better to use it sparingly anyway). Emily Dickinson is who always comes to my mind, but I don't think she's the only example. She didn't use it The Exact Same Way people on the internet now do (though, exactly what it's for does vary from person to person a bit), but it definitely feels like the same phenomenon (assuming her caps are intentional, which apparently *some* scholars dispute, but I think her caps are generally assumed to be intentional?)
