This show hurts my brain
Can’t blame you, it’s like a shakespearian comedy about nothing, sped up, with the Middle English replaced by equally obfuscatory Albertan slang.
Excuse you that ain’t Albertan that’s the wrong coast. It’s Ontario slang.

Hmm. Rather western-culture-centric (I side-eye anything with “tribal” in it), but useful.

This speech-language pathologist taught her dog 29 words, and he can even form full sentences.

Dogs actually do have a language center in their brains. They process language just the same way we do, just not as well.
They do understand our words. This is not true of all domesticated animals (horses, for example, can only manage to distinguish a relatively small number of spoken commands…but boy do they know what you’re really saying).
They don’t understand “just your tone of voice” as a lot of people think.
As of 2016 the record vocabulary for a dog demonstrating understanding of words is over 1,000.
So if you give them a way to talk back, they’re going to use it.
The development of language skills is probably a side effect of domestication and of being kept in close contact with humans. A dog that was a better hunting partner would be kept and bred and over time they developed a better understanding of language.
In other words, dogs are pretty dang smart because we need them to understand us.
And also that is a very good boy.
irish is such a shady language because hello is “dia duit” but directly translated it means “god be with you” and when someone says hello back they say “dia is muire duit” which means “god and mary be with you” .. its like “i see your god and i raise you the holy virgin whatcha gonna do bout it bitch”
irish isnt a language…
@black-infinity-parked-outside i cant 😂😂😂😂😂

kittenclysm asked:
i'm always amused when you talk about work and people get confused because you don't have some kind of Science! job. but then i got to wondering, what kind of jobs are there actually in your field that pay? it's always been my understanding that research is kind of a Starving Artist sort of deal unless you work for some kind of Bond villain.

I feel like this is pertinent to discussions we’ve had before and will have again. Even as inclusive as this list is, it STILL doesn’t cover everything, but I think it’s a handy primer and reference for certain talks.
What people think I mean when I say “Language is evolving”: Certain words and phrases are becoming obsolete as mass interaction through the Internet causes languages to become more streamlined.
What I actually mean when I say “Language is evolving”: suck and succ mean two different things now
