Re: COVID-19 thread

The main difference is collapsologists, survivalists and other hoarders, who now seem like they are ahead of the others. Depends. Some of them seem to be among those making the loudest demands for "re-opening", which seems to indicate that they're not at all good at actually handling emer...

Re: Conlang fluency thread

Here's my translation of the song from chapter 3 of The Hobbit that I mentioned earlier. I followed the original as far as I could, but that wasn't always possible, so I either reordered some lines, and tried to keep the intention as best as I could. The "river" line that I couldn't keep ...

Re: Random Thread

I recently came across an old Metafilter post which contrasted these two approaches as "Ask culture" and "Guess culture", though I haven't yet seen any attempt to correlate them with class. That's really interesting, and I do think it doesn't quite line up with class (as it exis...

Re: Random Thread

In the East Midlands it's similar, but there are also clear differences in pronunciation. To take our most famous dialect phrase, "hey up my duck" [eɪ ʌp mɪ dʌk] shows both h dropping and the use of [mɪ] for "my". I would say I hear [eɪ ʊp mɪ dʊk] more frequently than [eɪ ʌp mɪ ...

Re: COVID-19 thread

snip Yeah, I won't have any difficulty not going to parties either. But as much as I enjoy spending time by myself, I know that too much time alone is unhelpful for me. It makes room for bad habits. Regular social time really helps counteract my negative tendencies. Personally, I'm going to struggl...
